Jan. 10, 2017 – Glatfelter has promoted Timothy R. Hess to senior vice president and business unit president, Specialty Papers.
In his new role, Hess will have overall P&L responsibility and will work to guide the strategic direction for the business unit.
A 22-year veteran of Glatfelter, Hess has held various assignments in technical, operations, sales and marketing, and general management. Most recently, he served as vice president, sales and marketing for the Specialty Papers Business Unit.
