Posted on: Wednesday, 1 February 2006, 12:00 CST

Kaiser Aluminum today announced the return of Thomas P. Gannon to the company as vice president of Marketing, Aerospace and Distribution Products. Gannon worked previously with Kaiser Aluminum from 1977 to 1999.

"Tom brings a great deal of knowledge and experience to the commercial team at Kaiser Aluminum," said Keith Harvey, vice president, Sales & Marketing, Aerospace & Distribution. "His addition will make our organization stronger as we pursue new growth opportunities and solidify our position in the marketplace."

Based out of Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Gannon will report to Mr. Harvey and help lead the commercial efforts in the marketing of Kaiser Aluminum's sheet & plate, rod, bar, tube and soft alloy extrusion products globally.

Mr. Gannon first joined Kaiser Aluminum in 1977 and assumed progressively higher-level positions in sales and marketing management, primarily in the company's forgings and extrusions business. From 1999 to 2005, he worked at Alcan Corporation, first as automotive market director and then as vice president, managing the industrial products and automotive commercial effort for Alcan's North American rolled products division.

With the subsequent spin-off of the majority of Alcan's rolling assets into Novelis, Gannon continued as vice president and maintained the commercial responsibility for over 450 million pounds annually of rolled product sales.

Mr. Gannon is a recognized leader in the automotive aluminum industry, serving as chairman of the Aluminum Association's Automotive Executive Council. In this position, he leads the industry efforts to advance aluminum's penetration in the light vehicle segment.

Mr. Gannon earned a B.Sc. in Educational Communications from Ithaca College and an MBA from Gannon University. He brings to Kaiser Aluminum over 28 years of industry experience.
