“I’m excited to have Dan join Axalta in such a key global position,” said Axalta chairman and CEO, Charlie Shaver. Our customers depend on Axalta to deliver quality products that are manufactured to the highest standards and delivered on time.

“Dan’s extensive operations experience will enable us to continue to meet customer expectations and enable them to rely on Axalta’s products each and every day.
