TEC Specialty Products—with brands including TEC, Parabond, Fortane and ProSpec—has appointed Eric Daliere as CEO. Daliere brings more than two decades of leadership experience across flooring, building products and private equity portfolio companies, including as former CEO of Tarkett North America and Tarkett Sports.
Mike Leuschner, who has led TEC since it was acquired by Pacific Avenue Capital Partners from H.B. Fuller, will assume the role of president and chief commercial officer, focusing on commercial strategy and customer partnerships.
Chris Sznewajs, founder and managing partner at Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, said, “We are excited to welcome Eric to the TEC team. TEC is entering its next chapter as a focused, independent platform. Eric brings the operational discipline and growth mindset to lead that transformation while Mike doubles down with the customers and partners who are central to TEC’s success.”
Daliere stated, “TEC has built the right foundation to be an incredible company—trusted products, an exceptional team and the technical expertise to bring solutions to our customers. Our focus going forward is clear: to be the innovation leader in flooring systems while being the kind of company our employees are proud to work for, and our partners prefer to work with.”
Leuschner added, “The last year has been about TEC as a standalone business. The next chapter is growth. By staying relentlessly focused on our contractor and manufacturer customers, we will deliver not just great products but complete solutions that make their work faster, easier and more reliable.”
