Falken Industries Ltd (OTCBB: FLKI) announced after the close of
trading on Friday the appointment of Myron D. Young as a member of
its Board of Directors effective immediately. M. Young will also
serve on the FLKI Board Advisory Committee where he is expected to
provide valuable counsel for the FLKI implementation of its new
growth by merger or acquisitions policy.
M. Young has a long history in corporate senior management.
Starting in sales and marketing at Xerox, he joined Ford in
Finance. He progressed rapidly through Ford's various divisions
including important roles in sales and product development. He was
then selected to join the elite Corporate Strategy Group. The next
few years brought significant exposure to international finance.
This experience led the 11 different divisions making up the
Diversified Group to come under Young's managerial control. He
ultimately acquired major line responsibility as Plant Manager of
the 1.1 million square foot Milan Plastics Plant.
In 1989, Young served as CEO and Chairman of Ford Credit Europe
(with $ 14 billion of assets, $ 400 million PBT). Under his
leadership, Ford Credit Europe nearly doubled assets and profits in
four years, consolidated operations in 18 countries, and became the
largest finance company in Europe. On returning to the US in 1994
he became the President of Ford Life (a $ 5 billion Life Insurance
Company with new sales of over $ 100 million per month). Throughout
his years in Europe Young personally undertook numerous
acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures.
Young is expected to be a major contributor to FLKI's
development of its global business.
M Young commented in his acceptance missive; "I am delighted to
have been appointed a member of the Board of Directors. These are
exciting times for the company and I am looking forward to the
challenges that lie ahead."
Manuel Garcia, Communications Director for FLKI stated : "We are
absolutely delighted. Young is a renowned member of the
international business community within which FLKI operates."
Helle Madso, FLKI's President opined : "The fact that such a
personality would ask and accept to join our company and board, in
my view, underlines the core value of FLKI's intermediate potential
as unknown to the investment community as it may be today."
