ERIE, PA – Zurn Industries, LLC announces the promotion of Ken Clark to International Managing Director/General Manager. This promotion expands his role from International Sales Director to include responsibility for the recently acquired LWG Plumbing Specialties (LWG), based in Australia.

In September 2013, Zurn’s parent corporation, Rexnord, purchased the assets of LWG, a leading provider of plumbing solutions for the non-residential construction market in Australia. For more than 20 years, LWG has been a distributor of Zurn brand products, including stainless steel fixtures, tapware, backflow prevention devices, pressure reducing valves, and flushing systems.

“Zurn continues to successfully expand its sales and markets outside of North America,” stated Craig Wehr, Zurn President. “Ken’s leadership, extensive knowledge of international markets, and passion to win will continue to benefit Zurn’s global growth strategy.”

“We are excited to move forward with LWG after a 20-year relationship as a distributor in the Australian market,” said Ken. “Expanding our portfolio of Zurn products within LWG’s extensive warehouse network throughout the continent allows us to further penetrate the commercial construction market.”

Clark has been with Zurn for four years. His background includes more than 25 years in the plumbing manufacturing industry leading domestic and international sales/marketing, product development and design. Clark is a graduate of the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biopsychology.
