Eriez has appointed Daryl Leach as CFO and treasurer. Prior to joining Eriez, Leach drove financial and strategic growth at Zeus Industrial Products in Lexington, South Carolina.

Leach has previously worked in finance roles across sectors including consumer goods, medical devices, and industrial manufacturing, both in publicly traded and privately held companies. 

Eriez CEO Lukas Guenthardt said Leach brought a wealth of financial expertise and leadership experience to the Eriez corporate team.

“Daryl's arrival marks a significant milestone for Eriez, as we welcome an accomplished financial professional and visionary leader who is poised to positively shape our company's future. I am confident that his guidance will help propel us toward our strategic objectives and elevate our organization to new heights,” said Guenthardt.

Guenthardt said Leach’s initial goal would be to connect with teams to gain a deeper understanding of Eriez' global business, operations, and culture.

Established in 1942, Eriez is a leader in separation technologies in several key technology areas, including magnetic separation, flotation, metal detection, and material handling equipment.
