AKRON—Diamond America Corp., an Akron-based maker of extrusion equipment for the rubber, plastics, food and catalyst markets, has promoted Terry Hendershot to president.
Diamond America said Hendershot's promotion coincides with the company's brand re-launch "that repositioned the company to reflect initiatives to accelerate innovation, elevate design and engineering processes, and capitalize on the company's manufacturing capabilities," Hendershot said.

The executive has 26 years of experience in extrusion markets that include rubber, butyl, high-tech ceramics, catalyst, brick/tile, food and chemical extrusion.
