TOR Minerals International Inc. appointed Michael Dalton chief executive officer, effective Sept. 1, 2026.
Dalton previously served as chief operating officer of the Corpus Christi, Texas-based specialty minerals company. Earlier company records also identify him as vice president of sales and marketing.
The appointment follows the retirement of former CEO James Roecker at the end of 2024. At that time, TOR Minerals named Board Chairman Douglas Hartman as lead interim executive while the board searched for a permanent successor.
TOR Minerals manufactures specialty mineral products including titanium dioxide pigments and synergists, engineered fillers, alumina trihydrate and boehmite. Its materials are used in paints, industrial coatings, plastics and other industrial applications.
Leadership changes at raw-material suppliers can influence product strategy, investment and support for coatings manufacturers. See PCI’s coverage of paint and coatings additives.
