Commenting on his decision to retire, Mr McKee said, “For more than three decades, I have had the pleasure to work for an outstanding company with remarkable employees. As I begin this new and exciting chapter of my life, I leave with the confidence that my successor will continue to uphold the high standards and excellent service we provide to our customers.” Mr McKee joined Milacron in 1977 as a development engineer on the grinding wheel side of what then was known as the products division (grinding wheels and cutting fluids). He moved through a series of increasingly responsible managerial positions in product development, account service, operations, marketing and general management. In the early 1990s, he held senior management positions within the abrasives industry. He returned in 1995 as president of Talbot Holdings (tooling technology subsidiary) and advanced to president of Cimcool Fluid Technology, a position he has held for the last 12 years for Milacron. Mr McKee is a chemical engineer and also holds an MBA from Xavier University. Jack Teat joins Milacron from within the chemical industry, where he most recently served as chief operating officer for Dover Chemical Corporation. He has more than 30 years of industry experience, including 20 years at the former Great Lakes Chemical Company. Mr Teat holds a BS in Chemistry from The University of North Carolina, a Masters in Management from Purdue University, and an MBA from Budapest University of Economic Science.
