"On behalf of the board of directors and the Company, I would like to thank George for his contributions and outstanding service throughout his career with Thermon. He has played an integral role in establishing and growing the Company's international operations and he has recruited and developed an exceptional sales and marketing team to succeed him. Eric has been a part of the Thermon team for 16 years and has been training immediately alongside George for the past 18 months in preparation for his new role. We are confident that this is the right time for him to step in and lead the sales and marketing team," said Rodney Bingham, Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Reitler graduated from Georgia Tech in 1991 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and worked in the power, oil and gas industries prior to joining Thermon in 1998.

I am extremely proud of the many accomplishments of my colleagues around the world and of the global footprint that we have established. I am confident as we pass the reins to Eric that he will help lead the Company to the next level. I am committed to a smooth and successful transition and I believe that the Company is positioned for a bright future," Alexander said.

Mr. Alexander joined Thermon in August 1971 working in the production department and spent time in various senior management roles before accepting the role of Senior Vice President, Eastern Hemisphere in 2005.
