Lithium-Ion Battery Maker Names New...(acquired Delco Remy from GM in 1994 and ...)

Date:9/10/2009

acquired Delco Remy from GM in 1994 and helped pioneer the start up and financial turnaround of the new company. He has 17 years experience as the senior executive negotiator with major OEMs. As Senior Vice President Global OE Operations at Remy, he was responsible for manufacturing operations in the U.S., China, Korea, Poland, Brazil, Mexico.

Before that, Lawson lead sales and marketing strategies for Remy's automotive and heavy duty OE divisions, generating yearly revenue of $800 million. During that time he won key contracts for a next-generation hybrid drive system competing with Toyota. From 2002 to 2006 he was Senior Vice President and General Manager of the automotive division, responsible for a $400 million global P&L.

"Some companies have tried to build their battery business from the outside in. But at the end of the day this is still an automotive venture that requires strong experience in the industry and a thorough understanding of the customer's technical needs," Lawson said. "That's where EnerDel's deep roots in this industry and solid grounding in Indiana's proud automotive heritage will give us an important competitive advantage."

Lawson began his career with GM's former Delco Remy Division in 1973, and retired from Remy International in 2007. For the past two years he has had a successful independent automotive consulting business. A native of Anderson, Indiana, Lawson attended Purdue University where he received a MS from the College of Technology and a BS for the Krannert School of Management.
