In late October, Elkay Manufacturing announced that President and CEO Tim Jahnke plans to retire from day-to-day leadership to concentrate on his role on Elkay's Board of Directors. Ric Phillips has been named by Elkay's Board to succeed Jahnke as president and chief executive officer.
This announcement comes just shy of Elkay’s 100th anniversary. Jahnke has held that role since December 2007, just at the front end of the recession.
