Axion International, producer of recycled composite plastic industrial building products and railroad ties, has appointed Axion’s current president and COO, Steve Silverman, as its new chief executive officer while retaining his title of president, effective immediately. Jim Kerstein, Axion’s current CEO and chief technology officer, will continue as CTO and focus increasingly on developing new products and applications for Axion’s recycled plastic structural material while promoting the strategic relationships that have proven to be the foundation of the business. In his prior experience Silverman was a contributor to a five-fold increase in revenues at Archbrook Laguna, LLC. He led the company’s diversification strategy, formed unique joint ventures with international companies and held a key role in the company’s organizational restructuring and long-term strategic development. He also led the merger team that integrated BDI and Laguna into one company.
