BIOX appoints Norton as acting CEO
BIOX Corp., Canada’s largest biodiesel producer, announced the appointment of Kevin W. Norton as acting chief executive officer, after the resignation of CEO William Johnson. “Though I am sad to be leaving, I have enjoyed my time as chief executive officer of BIOX and look forward to new challenges which will enable me to spend more time near my family,โ said Johnson. Norton is a co-founder of BIOX and has served as the Company’s COO since it was founded. “BIOX is very well positioned.ย Our Hamilton plant is in its fifth year of operation and we have continuously improved both our technology and processes. As noted in our fiscal 2011 second quarter report, the pricing trend of biodiesel we sell into the U.S. market has been positive as the market responds to the expanded blending requirements of the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2),” said Norton.
