Dean Foods Company, the leading dairy processor in the US, has announced the retirement of its chairman and director Howard M. Dean.
Dean retired from both roles on 12 April, after working for Dean Foods for 37 years. He served as president from 1970 to 1988, chairman and CEO from 1988 through 2001.
Dean said: “I am looking forward to an active retirement, and I wish the new Dean Foods Company success as it continues to grow and prosper as a major food and beverage company.”
Gregg Engles, current CEO and vice chairman, will succeed Dean as chairman. Engles remarked, “We are very grateful for Howard Dean’s leadership and assistance through the closing of the merger of Dean Foods and Suiza Foods and through the critical initial phase of the integration of our two great companies. Howard has led the dairy industry through a period of tremendous change and has played a critical role in changing the milk business for the better.”
