UNOVA Announces Management Changes
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. - UNOVA, Inc. announced today that Larry D. Brady, President and Chief Operating Officer, will assume direct responsibility for the Company's Intermec subsidiary, based in Everett, Washington. Robert O'Malley, who previously headed the subsidiary, has left the Company to pursue other interests.The Company also said that Thomas O. Miller, who is head of Intermec's Systems & Solutions activities, will expand his responsibilities to include North American Sales and Marketing. "Tom is one of most experienced executives in this industry," said Brady. "During his 18 years with the Intermec family of companies, he has successfully managed product development, engineering and operations as well as large sales and marketing organizations."
Intermec's international activities will report directly to Brady. David Mills, who led global sales, has left the Company.
In light of these changes, UNOVA also postponed its previously disclosed succession plan for the Corporation's top management team. Alton J. Brann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will continue in his current capacity until Spring 2001, at which time Brady is expected to succeed him as Chief Executive Officer.
Independent from its efforts to improve Intermec's operating performance, the Company is continuing the recently announced search for strategic alternatives to create short- and long-term value for its shareholders.
UNOVA's Intermec subsidiary is a major global supplier of information technology and wireless networks for supply-chain execution and e-commerce fulfillment. The Company's Industrial Automation Systems segments are among the world's leading manufacturing technology suppliers to the automotive, diesel engine and aerospace industries.
