HOUSTON, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MRC Global Inc.
(NYSE: MRC), the largest global distributor, based on sales, of
pipe, valves and fittings and related products and services to the
energy industry, today announced the appointment of
Rob Saltiel as president and chief
executive officer and as a member of the company's board of
directors effective as of March 15,
2021, succeeding Andrew Lane,
who previously announced his retirement plans.
Rhys Best, MRC Global's chairman
of the board said, "As a company, we are celebrating our
100th anniversary this year. We are excited to have
Rob join MRC Global to lead its growth through the company's next
chapter. Rob's distinguished career in the energy sector
includes US and international experience in upstream, downstream
and power generation, and he has served as a prior CEO of two
public companies. Rob is well suited to serve MRC Global's existing
customers' businesses and their product needs and to identify and
develop new markets and customers as the world transitions its
energy infrastructure. We look forward to Rob's leadership of MRC
Global and his contributions to our company."
Mr. Saltiel commented, "I am honored to accept the role as MRC
Global's next CEO. MRC Global is an excellent company with talented
employees, a leading e-commerce platform, a global distribution
network, a culture of customer service and a solid balance sheet. I
look forward to working from the strong foundation established by
my predecessor, Andrew Lane, and to
helping our company grow for the benefit of our shareholders,
employees, customers and suppliers."
Mr. Best added, "Andrew Lane is
retiring from the company after more than 12 years of dedicated
service to the company. The MRC Global board of directors thanks
Andrew for his leadership and service. Andrew has led the amazing
transformation of our company from the merger of two family-owned,
US-focused private companies to today's global leader in the
distribution of pipe, valves and fittings to the energy industry.
He led the company through its successful IPO in 2012 and its
e-commerce evolution as well as many acquisitions to build the
company to what it is today. He has also led the company through
significant external challenges, including the recent COVID-19
pandemic and its impacts on energy markets. We could not have asked
for a steadier hand to lead the company through these volatile
times, and we wish Andrew the best in his retirement."
