According to the company, Geoff Hynes, who currently serves as director of sales, will take on his new duties 1 January 2018. He succeeds Sam Lalos, who is retiring at the end of the year. 

"Geoff has spent his entire career with REXA and is well prepared to continue the company’s legacy of excellence," the company said in a statement. 

Lalos’ retirement caps a career spanning more than 40 years in the industrial process control equipment manufacturing sector. 

"During the past five years as president and CEO, Sam effectively guided REXA through challenging market conditions. His leadership style, centered around passion and collaboration, has been inspirational to us all. Sam’s presence will be greatly missed. We wish him the best in his retirement," the company said.
