REM Surface Engineering has announced the appointment of Justin Michaud as CEO. He assumed responsibilities on January 1, 2017 and will succeed Mark Michaud, who stepped down into a reduced role as a Technical Fellow supporting Research and Sales. Justin Michaud has been part of the REM Surface Engineering team since 2006, serving in the role of Corporate Special Projects Manager before being promoted to Director of Operations in 2009 and serving as Vice President since 2012. During that time, he was responsible for managing key projects in the organization with a focus on continual improvement, process optimization across multiple departments and oversight of Operations & Sales. Justin Michaud holds a bachelor of Business Administration & Finance from the University of Notre Dame.

"While REM's technology, product offerings and the industries we serve have grown and changed a great deal over our history," Justin Michaud said. "REM remains family owned and operated with the same commitment to quality and customer service that led to my grandfather's success in the late 1960's. Mark Michaud leaves behind a strong technology foundation for REM to continue to grow and provide value to our customers."
