The 82-year old manufacturer’s core business of fine text and cover papers and envelopes will be managed within the Mohawk Fine Paper division, while the company’s growing portfolio of digital substrates – including a wide range of papers and non papers for printing across dry toner, liquid toner and ink jet devices, will be managed within the new Mohawk Digital division.

“Mohawk’s traditional fine paper business is mature, while our digital business has experienced, and is positioned for, rapid growth. Given the differing maturity levels of these two segments, it was necessary to develop individual growth strategies to ensure future success.” said Thomas D. O’Connor, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mohawk.

Kevin Richard has been named President of Mohawk Fine Paper Division. Formerly Executive Vice President, Operations & Chief Operating Officer at Mohawk, Richard will oversee sales, marketing, and operations for North America and all global markets. Paul Biesiadecki has been named President, Mohawk Digital. Previously Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing at Mohawk, Biesiadecki will have Sales, Marketing, Operational and Financial responsibility for Mohawk’s digital business and will oversee the expansion of the digital portfolio, develop relationships with key strategic partners and lead Mohawk’s Digital Specialist sales force.
