Husky promotes 2 to senior leadership roles

Husky Technologies has named Wassim F. Labban executive VP of global sales, and Dave Morton executive VP of business development and marketing.

Labban joined the company in 2004 and has led the commercial teams. His senior leadership roles across global markets include VP of rigid packaging and VP of beverage packaging, with responsibilities across the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and Oceania. He will be responsible for driving revenue growth and enhancing customer engagement across Husky’s markets around the world.

Morton brings 30 years of experience at Husky, most recently serving as VP of PET and packaging systems. He filled a number of senior global leadership roles in Canada, U.S.A., Luxembourg and Brazil across engineering, operations, and commercial strategy. Previously, he held other VP roles and was the director of global customer and sales support, based in Luxembourg. He will focus on commitment management and customer-focused, market-driven innovation.

“These promotions recognize two exceptional leaders who have each made significant contributions to Husky over many years,” said Robert Domodossola, president and CEO of Husky Technologies. “Wassim’s global commercial leadership and strong customer focus have been instrumental in building lasting partnerships across key international markets. Dave’s deep technical expertise and strategic perspective have helped strengthen our market position and expand our customer value proposition. I am confident both will play critical roles as we continue to drive growth and deliver value for our customers worldwide.”

“I’m excited to step into this expanded role and work with our dedicated, results-oriented sales teams and customers across the globe to continue to contribute to Husky’s continued growth,” Labban said. “Husky has a strong reputation for innovation, customer partnership and operational excellence. I look forward to further strengthening our global sales organization and supporting our customers as they grow their businesses.”

“I’m honored to take on this new role and working with our customer-focused teams to continually improve our customer experience,” Morton said. “Our focus remains on closely collaborating with customers and innovation teams to deliver solutions that meet market needs and drive customer success. By leveraging Husky’s deep market expertise and commitment to technology innovation, we will continue to define and deliver integrated solutions that strengthen our leadership position globally and create lasting value for our customers.”

Husky has revamped its leadership, including the promotion of Domodossola to president and CEO, following its acquisition by GPGI, formerly known as CompoSecure. The deal was announced in November and completed in January.

Founded in 1953 by plastics industry pioneer Robert Schad, Husky manufactures injection molding machines, hot runners and molds.
