About The Plastics Blog
As editor of Plastics News, I scan scores of Web sites, emails and news releases daily, and stay in constant touch with our network of global staff reporters and correspondents -- the largest reporting team in the plastics industry. I distill the more interesting items into commentary for this blog. Plastics News, part of Crain Communications Inc., began publishing weekly news in 1989, and launched a bilingual China site in mid-2005. In 2007, Crain acquired the two leading English-language plastics publications in Europe - Plastics & Rubber Weekly and the monthly European Plastics News.

Report says Collins & Aikman CEO to resign

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Our sister newspaper Automotive News has a report on its Web site that Frank Macher, chief executive officer of Collins & Aikman Corp., is "on the verge of resigning." The story is attributed to sources close to the company.

Macher, a 30-year veteran of Ford Motor Co., came to C&A in July 2005, just after the company filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors.

Southfield, Mich.-based C&A is the No. 1 North American injection molder, ranked by sales, in our annual survey. The company has 20 injection molding plants, an estimated 560 presses, and estimated molding sales of $1.5 billion.

The Automotive News story recalls how Macher "got into a high-profile spat" with Ford last year, when C&A briefly interrupted parts shipments for one shift to Ford's Fusion sedan plant in Hermosillo, Mexico.

Collins & Aikman spokesman David Youngman said Macher has not resigned. Youngman declined further comment. Macher could not be reached for comment.
