BonaKemi Expands Marketing Staff

Aurora, CO, September 19, 2006--BonaKemi USA announced the appointment of Jared Hall to the newly created position of project manager and the promotion of Chad Nordhagen to finish product manager. Bonaakemi's recent forecasted growth has required us to reinforce our marketing department and strengthen our company by creating new positions and promoting from within, said Gerry Mueller, BonaKemi director of marketing. Both Jared and Chad have demonstrated the planning and creative thinking skills necessary to help us accomplish our aggressive plans for growth. Hall, who has been with BonaKemi for nearly four years, originally worked as a purchasing agent responsible for production scheduling and raw material procurement. Hall's ability to work with a wide variety of BonaKemi departments and his most recent position as Bonakemi's product manager of finishes has enabled him to move into the new position of project manager. In his new position, Hall will be responsible for the implementation of new product introductions across all product divisions. He will work closely with product managers, operations, purchasing, research and development, marketing and other outside sources. Hall holds a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of South Hampton in Hampshire, UK. Nordhagen, who joined BonaKemi in early 2006, has proven himself to be highly proficient and extremely creative in his previous position as marketing project developer. In his new role, Nordhagen will be responsible for all wood floor finishing products as well as activities for all market channels. Nordhagen acquired his masters in business administration from the University of Denver with a focus on E-Commerce Marketing. He holds a bachelor's degree in business from Washington State University.
