With this change, the Board is asserting its full confidence in his leadership capability to serve all Gibraltar’s stakeholders. Additionally, having completely refreshed the board over the last several years with talents and skillsets to match the challenges faced by public companies in the everchanging business environment, I am confident of the future for Gibraltar.”

Mr. Bosway commented, “Bill Montague’s steady hand has guided Gibraltar’s progress since its inception as a public company and his contributions have been most appreciated during the company’s transformation toward a portfolio emphasis on higher-growth, higher-margin businesses, and the Board’s elevation of the importance of ESG. The Board joins me in thanking him for his dedication and service and his commitment to driving value and stakeholder returns. The Board looks forward to continued collaboration with Atlee Valentine Pope as our lead independent director as we steer Gibraltar toward stronger leadership positions in attractive, growing markets that serve our customers, our communities and the planet.”
