Apogee Appoints William F. Marchido Chief Financial Officer

Minneapolis-based Apogee Enterprises Inc., which recently sold its Harmon AutoGlass business to the Waco, Texas-based Dwyer Group, today announced that William F. Marchido will join the company February 24 as chief financial officer (CFO).

Marchido, 53, had been CFO at Siemens Dematic in Grand Rapids, Mich., since 1988. At Siemens Dematic, he was responsible for all financial areas, including IT systems management and productivity improvement programs, for the America's Material Handling Division and locations in Europe, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia.

"Bill's expertise in construction financial management controls will be an asset as we strive to improve our earnings predictability while implementing our growth strategies," said Russell Huffer, Apogee chairman and chief executive officer. "He also has considerable experience in consolidating back-room services across multiple businesses and implementing productivity improvements, which will be invaluable as Apogee realigns its overhead costs to better serve our growth opportunities and improve returns."
