Fromm Appoints New CEO
Reading, Pa.-based Fromm announced that effective January 1, John Hanna, the company’s current President & COO will serve as CEO, marking a transition that aligns with the firm’s succession plan designed to support continued growth and sustainability.
Over nearly three decades, Hanna has been a driving force behind many of Fromm’s most important initiatives, from expanding into new markets to building a highly talented management team. He has held numerous key leadership roles in the electrical industry, most notably with Affiliated Distributors (AD) and the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED).
Current CEO Michael Fromm, a third-generation family member who joined the business in 1991 and served as its CEO since 2009, oversaw significant growth through four acquisitions and the launch of an engineering services subsidiary. During his tenure, the company’s reputation as a highly respected employer and civic business community leader flourished.
Hanna is the first non-family member to lead the 102-year-old firm. “John manages with integrity and a deep commitment to our core principles. I could not be more confident in his ability to lead the company into the future,” noted Fromm.
“This is an important moment for Fromm,” Hanna said. “Mike led with endless passion and remarkable vision, and his continued involvement as board chair ensures that the values that have guided Fromm for more than a century remain at the heart of everything we do.”
