As I assume the role as the Company’s next CEO, I am energized by the opportunity to partner with our dynamic leaders and continue to drive growth and shareholder value. Trex is the undisputed leader in wood-alternative decking and railing and I am confident that Trex will continue to win in our markets and categories, while building on our strong financial profile.”

Having worked closely with Adam for two decades, I have been impressed with his leadership capabilities and his drive for performance. I take pride in what we have built and move on with confidence in Trex’s future.”
