The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has appointed Brian Hesje, chairman of the board of Fountain Tire, to TIA’s new Environmental Advisory Council (EAC). Hesje replaces Jim Pangle, also of Fountain Tire. The EAC will have its first meeting at the end of March. The EAC will provide guidance, programs, and information on environmental awareness throughout the tire industry.
“Brian’s impressive history in the tire industry, and specifically the retail tire sector, has given him a unique insight into the issues facing tire recycling,” said TIA President Wayne Croswell. “He is a leader in Canadian tire recycling, and TIA is indeed fortunate to be able to add him to our impressive roster of Environmental Advisory Committee members.” (JM)
