BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today announced that Michael Kuta plans to retire and step down as Chief Financial Officer. Kuta will remain with the Company until March 2023 to ensure a seamless transition of his duties. DMC has commenced a search for Kuta’s successor, and has engaged a leading executive recruiting firm.

“Mike is a valued partner who has played a pivotal role in the transformation of DMC during his more than eight years as CFO,” said Kevin Longe, president and CEO. “He was instrumental in the restructuring and consolidation of our global businesses, the modernization of our manufacturing infrastructure, and our investments in groundbreaking technologies and products that have fueled our growth.
