Atlanta-based NAUE America announced the appointment of Paul O’Malley as president of NAUE America in a Dec. 13 press release. The former Propex sales manager officially moves into the post Jan. 1, 2012, according to the release.
O’Malley is a well-known veteran in the geosynthetics community. He was most-recently with Landmark Earth Solutions. Previously, he was the national sales manager at Propex Geosynthetics, where he helped build a cooperative business arrangement for the sale of NAUE’s geogrid products in the U.S.
“I am very excited and pleased to be joining the NAUE America team,” O’Malley said. “The benefit of geogrids in civil construction is becoming increasingly recognized in the U.S. and NAUE America is well-positioned to support that growth.”
NAUE GmbH & Co. KG is based in Espelkamp-Fiestel, Germany. It established NAUE America Inc. in Atlanta in 2008. The company’s U.S. sales focus is primarily with its family of geogrid products, according to the press release.
The international company has been active globally in the manufacture of geosynthetics since 1967. Its group of international companies is involved in the manufacture, distribution, and installation of geotextiles, geomembranes, geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs), geogrids, and drainage and erosion control materials.
