Gregor." "Having carried the responsibili- ty for development of MacGregor through the last 25 years," Mr.

Kummerman noted, "I feel it is an appropriate juncture to appoint a man of Mr. Holubowicz's qualifi- cations to lead the company into new areas of technology and prod- ucts that will sustain and reinforce the name of MacGregor as a leader in the maritime industry. His ex- perience in the field of acquisitions and international marketing will be particularly applicable in the intro- duction of new technology to fur- ther the growth of MacGregor in the years to come."
