"On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are delighted to promote Frank to the chief executive officer position, and we look forward to working with Frank to execute our strategy and enhance Culp's competitive position in today's global marketplace."
Commenting on the announcement, Saxon added, "It is a privilege to take on this new role with the company and continue the tradition of excellence set by Rob Culp and his family. Rob has played a vital role in the growth and success of Culp since he started the business with his father, Robert G. Culp, Jr. and Howard Dunn in 1972 as a small, but ambitious, company to sell upholstery fabrics."
"Rob became chief executive officer in 1988, and chairman in 1990, and under his leadership the company has grown into one of the world's largest marketers of mattress fabrics for bedding and upholstery fabrics for furniture. Our ability to address changing market conditions, deliver innovative fabrics and provide exceptional service reflects Rob's vision and dedication to customers."
"We will continue to benefit from his experience, customer and industry relationships, and commitment to the company's strategic objectives. I look forward to continuing my strong working relationship with Rob as we move into our new roles with Culp."
