Perry Davis has been named president of the residential furnishings segment for
Leggett & Platt.
Davis succeeds Paul Hauser who will retire in February. The changes are effective Feb. 18.
Davis joined the company in 1981, spending the last five years as president of the bedding group.
"Paul has contributed much to the success of the company and will be greatly missed, said Karl Glassman, chief operating officer. And Perry has risen to his current position via hard work, personal integrity, and outstanding product knowledge and people skills. I look forward to working with both Paul and Perry through the succession process.
In related moves, Eric Rhea will succeed Davis as president of the bedding group. Rhea has been president of the bedding group's central division since 2004 and has worked exclusively within the group since joining Leggett & Platt for 23 years.
