Peterson Builders Elects New Chief

Executives

Peterson Builders, Inc. (PBI) of

Sturgeon Bay, Wis., recently announced the election of two exec- utives to senior level positions.

James M. Stawicki, vice presi- dent and chief operations officer since 1995, was named president of the company. Ellsworth L.

Peterson, who occupied the presi- dency for 31 years, was elected chairman of the board.

In June 1995, the company announced its decision to sell its shipbuilding division at Sturgeon

Bay, due to U.S. defense spending cutbacks and changing market- place conditions. PBI has complet- ed an auction of its personal prop- erty and equipment related to shipbuilding, and the real estate will be devel- oped for purposes other than shipbuilding.

PBI's remaining operations include a ship repair operation in Ingleside, Texas; a spare parts procurement and logistics business in Sturgeon

Bay and Virginia Beach, Va.; and a calibration lab, marina and corporate support group — han- dling the licensing and support of vessel designs and management of the company's real estate — in Sturgeon Bay.
