Tencarva names new president
Tencarva Machinery Company, headquartered in Greensboro, N.C., elected Edwin W. Pearce III as president.
Former president Rod Lee, who served in that position for 16 years, retired on Dec. 31.
"I am honored that the Board of Directors of Tencarva Machinery Company has chosen me to be the company’s fourth president. Our founders and past leaders have built a wonderful company, and I am very mindful of that. We have tremendous, dedicated employees; we represent the top manufacturers of engineered products; and we have a diversified and thriving customer base – all of which bode well for our future," said Pearce, who served as secretary/treasurer and controller of Tencarva for the last 13 years.
Lee retired after 36 years of service with the company, and will remain on the board.
In announcing Pearce's promotion, Lee explained, "Ed has guided us through the transition into the electronic age in our business systems. He has maintained the 'tight ship' in the Accounting Department while growing substantially to meet the needs of the much larger company we have become. I don’t know any company that operates more efficiently or effectively than Tencarva in that area. His skills and good judgment have also contributed greatly to Tencarva’s success in adding to our business via acquisition."
