“I am honored to take on the mantle as KI’s next CEO,<\/em>” Krenke said. “Dick is a legend within the contract furniture industry, and I have been privileged to learn a great deal working alongside him for nearly three decades.

Krenke joined KI in 1991 as a sales engineer and has held various senior leadership roles at the company. He has served as the company’s president since 2010. As president, Krenke has overseen KI’s day-to-day operations, including sales, marketing, and product design and development. Krenke has also managed operations for KI subsidiary Pallas Textiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his new role, Resch will manage KI’s domestic and international manufacturing operations, human resources and Pallas Textiles. He will also oversee KI affiliate SpaceSaver Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Resch’s leadership, KI grew from a modestly-sized maker of folding chairs and tables into a global manufacturer with nearly $700 million in annual sales and almost 3,000 employees. He has forged a decades-long legacy of philanthropy — and has made commitment to customers and community cornerstones of KI’s mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As I enter the next phase of my career, I’m thrilled to hand the reins over to Brian,<\/em>” Resch said. “His expertise and leadership will serve KI well, and I look forward to working with him and the board of directors in the years to come.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
