WESTLAKE, OH – Nordson said Michael Hilton plans to retire as president and chief executive after nine years with the company.

The board of directors has initiated a search of internal and external candidates for his successor. Throughout this process, Hilton will remain in his current role.

“After nine years with Nordson, I’ve shared with our board of directors my intent to retire by calendar year-end,” said Hilton. “It has been an honor to lead Nordson’s global team of approximately 7,500 associates. Throughout the year, I will continue to lead this company forward as we work toward achieving our 2019 objectives. I also will work closely with the board of directors to ensure a smooth leadership transition.”
