Mattress producer King Koil has named bedding industry veteran Ron Bruneau to the newly created position of executive vice president of operations.
The company said he will oversee the implementation of its new strategy to build a domestic manufacturing infrastructure. Bruneau, who brings more than 20 years of operations experience to the position, has led operations at bedding manufacturers E.S. Kluft and Talalay Global.
“As we continue to phase in our new manufacturing strategy, we continue to build a world-class team of leaders,” said David Binke, CEO of King Koil. “Ron is one of the best operations and supply chain executives around, and I’m thrilled to have him steering our direction as we move toward opening our first factory this spring. It’s an exciting time in the King Koil history, and we look forward to Ron’s leadership.”
Most recently, Bruneau, was chief operating officer for E.S. Kluft, where he was a member of that company’s senior management leadership team and worked alongside Binke to build that brand in the U.S. market.
During his six-year tenure at Kluft, Bruneau oversaw the company’s increased production and helped grow the brand’s global footprint. He was responsible for maintaining the company’s outstanding reputation for quality and delivery.
He also spent 13 years with Talalay Global, where he started in the company’s engineering department and was later promoted to production manager, plant manager, and then corporate director of fabrication and general manager for the company’s operations in the West.
