TRAC sees turnover on Board of Directors

CAMBRIDGE, Ontario—The Tire and Rubber Association of Canada has some new faces on its Board of Directors following two resignations from the governing body.

Antoine Sautenet of Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. and Matt Livigni of Continental Tire Canada Inc. recently left the board, with replacements named Oct. 11. The new Michelin representative is Andrew Mutch, while Kim Rolfe will sit on the board for Conti.

Pam Scarrow of Bridgestone, Chris Figel of AirBoss and Continental's Rolfe will assume new posts as first and second vice-chairs and treasurer, respectively.

"Antoine and Matt have served with distinction as TRAC first vice-chair and treasurer, respectively," said Paul Downey, president and CEO of Pliteq and TRAC chairman of the board. "We are grateful for their leadership and dedication and wish them both well in their new roles in France and South Africa, respectively."

Downey also welcomed Mutch and Rolfe and said that TRAC will appreciate their "expertise and support in advancing TRAC's mission, vision and strategic priorities."

Mutch brings more than three decades of experience at Michelin's three plants in Nova Scotia, and at factories in Oklahoma and South Carolina.

He has worked in industrial engineering, manufacturing management, human resources, and strategic planning and investments.

Rolfe has 27 years experience in positions with Continental in the U.S., Germany and Canada. She has worked in auditing, corporate accounting, plant and sales office controlling, and has versatile experience in mergers and acquisitions and start-up companies.
