URGENT UPDATE: Mohawk Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MHK) has just announced a significant leadership change that will impact the company’s financial future. Chief Financial Officer James F. Brunk will retire on April 1, 2026, paving the way for Nicholas P. Manthey to step in as the new CFO. This transition is set to reshape the financial strategy of one of the world’s largest flooring manufacturers.
In a statement released earlier today from Calhoun, Georgia, Brunk reflected on his 20-year tenure, stating, “It has been a privilege to serve as CFO at Mohawk. I am proud of the progress our Company has made as we became the global leader in flooring.” His departure marks a pivotal moment for Mohawk as it prepares for future growth.
Brunk will assist in the transition by taking on a senior advisory role after his retirement, ensuring continuity as Manthey prepares to lead. Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum, Chairman and CEO, expressed gratitude for Brunk’s contributions, noting, “His leadership was instrumental in Mohawk becoming the world’s largest flooring company.”
As Vice President of Corporate Finance and Investor Relations, Manthey has been intimately involved with the company since joining in 2020. His experience includes positions at Bridgestone and Intel, where he honed his skills in international finance. “I am excited by this opportunity,” Manthey said. “We have an exceptional finance team across the enterprise, and I look forward to identifying new opportunities to strengthen our business.”
This leadership transition comes at a crucial time as Mohawk aims to expand its operations globally, leveraging its strong financial position and talented workforce. With manufacturing facilities across North America, Europe, South America, Oceania, and Asia, the company is poised for continued success in the competitive flooring market.
The implications of this leadership change are significant. As Manthey assumes his new role, industry analysts will be closely monitoring how his vision will influence Mohawk’s strategic direction and overall market performance.
