Sullair, an industry leader in innovative compressed air solutions since 1965, announced that Charlie Takeuchi has been named president and chief executive officer, effective today. He succeeds Jack Carlson, who retired as president and chief executive officer.

In addition, Carlson successfully led Sullair through the company's acquisition from private equity owner Accudyne Industries to Hitachi in April 2017.

Carlson noted, "It was a tremendous honor to serve as CEO of Sullair alongside our dedicated employees around the globe. Sullair has a 55-year legacy of delivering reliability, durability and performance to our customers. As Charlie takes over, I am confident that Sullair will continue its growth trajectory as he and the team build on this strong foundation."

"I am honored to assume the role of CEO and to lead Sullair through its next phase of growth," said Takeuchi. "I look forward to continuing to work with the team to build on our company's history of delivering great products, while working to better meet our customer's needs through product transformation and digitization."

Takeuchi becomes president and chief executive officer of Sullair after serving as chief operating officer and executive vice president since July 2017. In that role, he ensured all integration efforts between Sullair and Hitachi were accomplished, along with the day-to-day global operations of Sullair.
