In response to the rapid growth of the Duperon Corp. and the expansion of the management team over the last several years, Terry L. Duperon, the founder of the Duperon Corp., the inventor of FlexRake technology and the president/CEO of the company for the last 25 years, will assume the position of chairman of the board on January 1, 2010. At that time, Tammy L. (Duperon) Bernier, currently Vice President, COO, will become president/CEO.

“After 25 years in the same job, it’s time for me to assume a different set of duties,” explained Duperon. “Our business has grown dramatically and Board-related duties have expanded along with the growth. We now plan on a broader scale and with a wider scope. It is exciting to explore all of the opportunities that are opening up for Duperon Corp., almost daily.”

“It is an honor and a privilege to be the new president/CEO of the Duperon Corp. because it is a vibrant, evolving organization, filled with some of the most inspiring individuals in the water and wastewater industry,” said Bernier. “We have recently introduced several new breakthrough technologies for preliminary liquids/solids separation applications and are fully committed to playing a significant role in the stewardship of the world’s water today as well as in the future. The possibilities are pulling us forward.”

Bernier has managed Duperon Corp. to over 25 percent growth for the last several years and has developed a powerful entrepreneurial culture throughout the organization.
