Editor, Ink World Magazine
Dunn-Edwards Corporation announced the retirement of Karl Altergott from his role as president and CEO in February 2025 after 16 years of significant contributions across the brand. The Dunn-Edwards Board of Directors and the co-presidents of Nippon Paint also announced that chief operating officer Monte Lewis has been promoted to CEO, effective March 1, 2025. Altergott joined Dunn-Edwards in 2009, and the company has made many significant advancements throughout his tenure. Under Altergott’s leadership, Dunn-Edwards established a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, completed a new corporate headquarters, expanded 75 new store locations, invested in multiple IT and product development platforms, sold/transitioned Dunn-Edwards as a family-run business to Nippon Paint, and built a competent leadership team. He plans to continue his service and devote part of his time to Nippon Paint as an executive advisor in support of organizations globally. “Serving as the CEO of Dunn-Edwards has been one of my greatest privileges as the company and the coatings industry is full of great people and customers,” said Altergott. “Dunn-Edwards is in great hands with Monte Lewis, and I look forward to watching the brand’s continued growth.” Alongside the news of Altergott’s retirement, Dunn-Edwards announced the appointment of Lewis as incoming CEO of Dunn-Edwards. Having spent nearly 16 years leading the company’s sales organization and exemplifying proven growth and excellence, Lewis was promoted to COO in February 2024. The Dunn-Edwards Board of Directors and co-presidents of Nippon Paint have expressed their complete confidence in Lewis’ ability to help Dunn-Edwards grow its architectural footprint further in the United States. In other leadership news, Dunn-Edwards announced the promotion of Nick Hess to executive vice president. Hess has led the Dunn-Edwards Stores team for more than two decades and has helped the brand grow in the markets it serves. In this role, he will continue to be a powerful voice on the executive team and work alongside incoming Lewis. “I am grateful for the trust placed in me to lead Dunn-Edwards, a company deeply committed to serving our customers, communities, and industry,” said Lewis. “I am fortunate to begin this journey on the solid foundation that Karl and his team built over the past 16 years. Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our presence in our core markets while expanding into new geographic and product segments, ensuring a thriving future for Dunn-Edwards and the customers we serve.”
