Sheboygan Paint Company announced the succession of the chairman of the board from Charlie Malingowski to Jay Brownrigg as the final step in a multi-year transition of management and ownership from fourth to fifth generation.
Brownrigg has held numerous positions at Sheboygan Paint Company across product development, purchasing and operations. He currently serves as director of enterprise resource planning and digital innovation and recently earned a master of business administration degree from Pepperdine Business School. Brownrigg will represent the family ownership group, which comprises him and four siblings.
President and CEO Paul Krueger said: “Jay provides alignment across family, board and management, creating a very workable structure in terms of quick and efficient decision-making. This has been key to the record financial performance achieved in 2023, as well as record levels of capital reinvestment into our operations to better serve our customers and sustain our growth in future years.”
