Amerityre promotes Benninger to president

June 7, 2007

Polyurethane tire manufacturer Amerityre Corp. has named Gary Benninger its president. He also will replace Richard Steinke as the firm's CEO on Sept. 1.

At that point, Steinke will begin service as a full-time technology consultant to the company. (Six months ago, he announced his intention to step down as chairman and CEO of Amerityre.)

Benninger "has been integral to the success of the company during his tenure," says Steinke. "I am confident that his leadership will ensure the future success of the company."

Benninger most recently served Amerityre as chief operating officer.
