Pacer Technology Names Chief Executive

* Pacer Technology, the Rancho Cucamonga-based maker of Super Glue and other advanced technology adhesives, has appointed W. Thomas Nightingale president and chief executive to succeed James Munn, who was ousted in March by the company’s board. At the time, the company said Pacer needed “a fresh approach and new leadership” to allow it “to more fully realize its potential in the marketplace and deliver appropriate shareholder value.”

Pacer Technology stock has been trading around $1 and has lost 24% of its value this year. Nightingale, who held various management positions at Pacer over the last 21 years, had been serving as interim CEO since Munn’s ouster.

Pacer also announced that Roger Vanderlaan was appointed chief operating officer. Vanderlaan joined Pacer in March and was instrumental in the company’s management reorganization after Munn’s departure. He previously was operations manager of Sherwin Williams Co.

* Laura Ziffren has been promoted to senior vice president of Fox Music, where she will continue to help coordinate and supervise the creative aspects of film and TV songs and scores distributed by Fox Filmed Entertainment. She will also serve as a liaison to talent in the music field. Ziffren previously was vice president of Fox Music, which is a division of Fox Filmed Entertainment.
