Titan International Inc. announces that the employment contract for
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Maurice M. Taylor Jr. has been
extended two years, to 2012.
“The Board of Directors proposed a two-year
addition to my contract, but before I agreed, I had my doctor, Dan
Megler, give me a physical. He told me I was healthy as a 42-year-old
jock and I agreed. Hopefully those who know me are not laughing too hard
now!” said Taylor. “But
seriously, the success of Titan’s super giant
tire project has been the most fulfilling career challenge of my life. I
owe this success to our employees, and it is because of their hard work
that we see these super giant tires in use around the world.”
Titan’s Board of Directors also extended
employment contracts for Vice President of Finance and Treasurer Kent W.
Hackamack and Vice President and Chief General Counsel Cheri T. Holley
through 2013.
