Doug Murdock, who most recently served as President of the Climate Products Group at Mueller Industries, Inc. has joined Tecumseh as the new President and CEO. Mr. Murdock commented that 'the financial strength and commitment of the new ownership will enable Tecumseh to accelerate new product development efforts and accompanying product launches. This is critical for all regions, especially where local governments require efficiency improvements for refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.'

Asia is an important region for Tecumseh where the company continues to experience double-digit, year-over-year growth. Based on the growth, Tecumseh will invest in the region as needed to expand production capabilities and required support services.
