Stauf Moving German President To Run U.S. Group

Memphis, TN, April 1, 2008 – Wolfgang Stauf, who has been president of German-based Stauf Adhesives since 1998, is moving to Memphis to steer the rapidly growing Stauf USA division.

"We want to take full advantage of the more than a century and a half of Stauf's innovation and industry leadership and Wolfgang can certainly help us do that," said David Ford, the company's vice president of sales and marketing. "Stauf's quality and dependability are well known in Europe and we want it to become just as well known in the United States.”

The U.S. division reported the greatest growth of all Stauf's business units over the past five years. Stauf products have been available in the U.S. for almost six years.

Stauf sells adhesive products throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
