STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Crane Co. (NYSE: CR), a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered industrial products, announced that the Chairman transition disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement on March 13, 2020 has been completed. Crane Co.’s Chairman, R.S. Evans, has retired in accordance with the Company’s director retirement policy. James L. L. Tullis, a Crane Co. Director since 1998, became Chairman upon Mr. Evans’ retirement.
Max Mitchell, Crane Co. President and Chief Executive Officer, stated “Shell Evans has devoted 47 years to Crane, including 36 years as Chairman, and 17 years as CEO. It would be difficult to overemphasize the impact that he has had at Crane over that time, driving substantial change to the Company’s portfolio, operations, strategy, and culture. He leaves a rich legacy at Crane, including the consistent and singular focus on building shareholder value while adhering to the tenets of the R.T. Crane resolution. I thank Shell for his years of inspiration and guidance, and I look forward to continuing to work with the Board, including our new Chairman, Jim Tullis, as we continue to execute on our longstanding strategy.”
R.S. Evans added “It has been an honor to be part of Crane over the last several decades. I am extremely proud of this company and its 12,000 associates, and I am certain that many of Crane’s best years still lie ahead. I would also like to congratulate Jim Tullis on his new role as Chairman. Jim has served on Crane’s Board with me for more than 20 years, and I am confident in his experience and leadership.”
James L. L. Tullis commented “On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I would like to express our appreciation for Shell’s many years of outstanding service. Shell embodies the R.T. Crane resolution that has served as Crane’s core value statement since the company’s founding and he leaves us all better off for having worked with him. While Shell’s leadership and wisdom will be missed, he has built a strong and effective Board through years of focus on our Board renewal process, and he has overseen the development of a highly capable and deep management team that has proven its ability to execute through wide ranging opportunities and challenges, including in the current pandemic environment.”
