Conneaut Industries Announces Appointment of President and Vice President

 

 

 

John P. Santos, President

 

 

Conneaut Industries reported the filling of its two top positions in January of 2007. John P. Santos was promoted to president and CEO and Russell C. Kibbe was promoted to vice president.

Santos, who started with Conneaut in 1970, was promoted to vice president in 1978. He attended the University of Rhode Island and served in the U.S. Army from 1965 through 1967, including a tour of duty in Vietnam.

       

 

Kibbe started with Conneaut Industries as controller in 1999. He was promoted to CFO in 2001. He previously worked for Syner, Cavallaro & Co. and for GTECH Corporation. He holds a B.S. degree in accounting from Bryant University and received his CPA certification in 1993.

The president’s position had not been filled since the death last August of Dean N. Banfield, at age 76, who was the owner/president. Banfield graduated from the University of Rhode Island and after the U.S. army veteran returned from Korea, he began a career that lasted more than a half century. Based in West Greenwhich, Rhode Island, USA, Conneaut Industries supplies industrial yarn products to the wire and cable, automotive, aerospace and fiber composites sectors.                  Back
