Angus Chemical Company names new CEO

Angus Chemical Company, a global manufacturer and marketer of specialty and fine chemicals, Tuesday said that Dave Neuberger has been appointed CEO, effective immediately.

Neuberger succeeds Mark Henning, who will step down as CEO of the Buffalo Grove-based business.

Neuberger is an industry veteran with 20 years of experience. He has held a variety of leadership roles with leading chemicals companies. He joins Angus after a decade with Ashland Inc., a global specialty chemicals company, where he most recently served as group vice president of the company's pharmaceutical, agriculture and nutrition specialties business. In that role, Neuberger oversaw Ashland's most profitable P&L, and he managed a pipeline of new product introductions.

"Dave's track record of building, growing and managing specialty chemicals businesses makes him the ideal person to lead Angus into its next chapter. Dave has decades of diverse leadership experience across the chemicals industry, as well as a strong, results-driven approach that will immediately create value and position Angus for future growth opportunities," said Robert Kirby, Chairman of the Angus board of directors.
