Ron Voigt Appointed to Michelman Board of Directors

Michelman is pleased to announce the appointment of Ron Voigt to its Board of Directors. Voigt is Chief Executive Officer of Hyperion Materials & Technologies, a global materials science company specialising in advanced hard and super-hard materials for industrial applications.

Voigt has extensive experience leading global business-to-business companies through growth and change. His work in materials science, manufacturing, commercial strategy, and employee engagement aligns with Michelman’s priorities as the company expands internationally.

“Ron has spent his career building global industrial businesses and helping teams turn strategy into measurable results,” said Steve Shifman, Executive Chairman of the Board at Michelman.

“He asks direct questions, listens carefully, and brings valuable perspective on how to build on our strengths as we expand into new markets and applications. That approach, along with his experience in growth and organisational change, will serve Michelman well.”

Voigt has served as CEO of Hyperion since 2018, driving growth through operational investment, new technologies, and acquisitions, while emphasising employee engagement.

Previously, he was President of X-Rite Pantone, Commercial President of Tektronix, and President, Industrial Automation at Kollmorgen. Earlier in his career, he held several positions at Delphi Automotive Systems and General Motors Corporation, most recently serving as Divisional Vice President and Business Unit Director of the steering business unit within Delphi Steering.

“Michelman’s combination of engineered solutions, global reach, and a clear commitment to People, Planet, and Profit made the Board role a logical extension of the work I have done throughout my career,” said Voigt.

“I have been impressed by the candour of the Board and leadership team and their willingness to look directly at where performance can improve and then act on it. I look forward to supporting Michelman’s growth and working with an experienced group of leaders focused on continuous improvement.”

Michelman welcomes Ron to the Board and looks forward to his contributions.
