New President for Birla Carbon’s Specialty Blacks Business
ATLANTA/MUMBAI – Birla Carbon has appointed Todd Cottrell President, Specialty Blacks Business (SBB). Cottrell joins Birla Carbon on Dec. 11, 2017. Jas Sandhu, Business Head for SBB, has decided to retire from Birla Carbon.
"Jas has provided exceptional leadership to the Specialty Blacks business of Birla Carbon, especially after Columbian Chemicals became part of the Aditya Birla Group," said John Loudermilk, Chief Operating Officer, Birla Carbon. He further added, "In a market where carbon black is closely associated with tires, Jas' leadership created a niche for the specialty applications of Birla Carbon in many industries. Jas' enthusiasm for the Specialty business will be missed. I wish him the very best as he steps into retirement."
