NEW YORK, July 15—Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) announced today that Douglas T. Dietrich has been appointed senior vice president and chief financial officer effective January 1, 2011. Mr. Dietrich, vice president, Business Development and Treasury, will succeed John A. Sorel, who is retiring from the company early in 2011 after 37 years of service.
“We are fortunate to have someone of Doug Dietrich’s caliber and business experience to step into the position that has been so competently filled by John Sorel.” said Joseph C. Muscari, chairman and chief executive officer. “For the remainder of 2010, Mr. Sorel, who has made numerous significant contributions to the growth and success of Minerals Technologies, will be actively involved in the transition of responsibilities.”
Douglas T. Dietrich joined the company as head of Corporate Development and Treasury in August 2007.
