The new President and CEO comes from the current senior management team:  Joe Nemeth, CPLP's Vice-president of Sales and Marketing will assume his new post on May 1st.

CPLP's Vice-president of Operations, Brett Robinson, says Nemeth has a very strong, diverse background. 

"He started in the forestry side of the business, worked in the solid wood industry, has come up into a paper background -- which is important because we supply the paper industry -- and got into marketing after he took an MBA, so he's very well-prepared to take over this company."
