TJ INTERNATIONAL ELECTS DENIG AS NEW CEO
BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 4/PRNewswire/ -- TJ International (Nasdaq: TJCD)
announced today that Tom Denig will replace long-time President and CEO Walt
Minnick, who is resigning effective Jan. 31, 1995.
Denig, 48, has led the company's Trus Joist MacMillan (TJM) joint venture
subsidiary as its president and CEO for the past five years. He has held a
variety of marketing and general management positions in his 21-year career with
the company. In addition to his new responsibilities as TJ International
president and CEO, he will continue to serve in the same capacities for TJM.
Minnick, 52, started with the company in 1974. He became president in 1979
and was elected as CEO in 1986.
TJ International Chairman Harold Thomas indicated that Minnick's talent and
energy will be missed, but that the board of directors has every confidence in
Denig's ability to lead the company and further strengthen its position in the
rapidly growing engineered lumber market.
"Walt's had a very successful career here. We're pleased that he will
continue contributing to the company by remaining on the board of directors
through the end of his term," said Thomas. "We're equally pleased he will pass
the baton to Tom Denig, a proven leader who we believe will successfully achieve
our ambitious growth objectives."
According to Thomas, the leadership transition results from the board of
directors' decision to adopt a single-business strategy focusing entirely on its
industry-leading engineered lumber business. The company also owns a 64 percent
interest in Outlook Window Partnership, which it currently intends to divest
during the next several years as the opportunity presents itself.
TJ International is a specialty building products company headquartered in
Boise, Idaho. It serves as managing partner and 51 percent majority owner of
Trus Joist MacMillan. The company also holds a majority interest in Outlook
Window Partnership, a consortium of three U.S. window manufacturers: Norco
Windows, SealRite Windows, and Oldach Window Corp.
