WNTI operates five PM parts plants in the United States and one in China, and has about 600 employees. David M Adams has joined the company as chairman and CEO, replacing Steve Campbell, president and CEO, who has resigned for personal reasons.

Mr Adams’ executive experience includes stints as CEO and president of Siegel Robert, a privately held manufacturer, and as president of Eaton Corporation’s Hydraulics Operations. “I plan to accelerate the company’s organic growth, improve operations and acquire complementary businesses,” he says. “I look forward to leading NetShape as it continues to focus on implementing lean business practices to drive profitable long-term growth.”
