Bobrick Washroom Equipment, Inc. has named Matthew Louchheim, previously vice-president of corporate development and general manager of toilet partitions, as president. Mark Louchheim, who served as the company’s president since 1991, will transition to chair and CEO.
“It has been a privilege to lead Bobrick for the past 29 years,” said Mark Louchheim. “I am grateful to our employees, customers, and partners for their dedication in growing and evolving our business.”
“Matthew is uniquely qualified to lead our growing global company into the future,” said Mark Louchheim. “He has first-hand experience with every facet of the business, from sales to operations, and the character and acumen to take on complex challenges.”
Matthew Louchheim represents the fourth generation of Louchheims to lead the company since Mark Louchheim’s grandfather, William S. Louchheim, Sr., purchased Bobrick in 1946.
Matthew Louchheim holds a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University and Master of Business Administration from Stanford University. Before joining Bobrick in 2010, he worked at Boston Consulting Group and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). At Bobrick, he led the development of a premium, European-inspired toilet cubicles brand, served as national architectural sales manager, and most recently oversaw the integration of Thrislington Cubicles into Bobrick’s business operations.
“I am thrilled to lead this incredible, historic company,” said Matthew Louchheim. “Bobrick’s future is bright thanks to my father’s visionary leadership, which he built upon the legacy of prior generations. I am humbled by their contributions and ready to embrace the challenge while advancing hygiene, sustainability and privacy in the commercial restroom.”
