				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>IRVINE, California, February 20, 2013</b> – McDermott &#038; Bull, a Southern California-based retained executive search firm, announced today the successful appointment of Mr. Jeff Huber as Vice President of Engineering with Bal Seal Engineering based in Foothill Ranch, CA.</p>
<p>This executive recruiting engagement was conducted by <a href="http://www.mbsearch.com/profile/chris-bull/"target="_blank">Chris Bull</a>, Managing Partner, and <a href="http://www.mbsearch.com/profile/craig-lipus/"target="_blank">Craig Lipus</a>, Partner at McDermott &#038; Bull Executive Search. According to Mr. Bull, “Jeff’s background over the past 30 years has prepared him well for what is necessary for him to succeed at Bal Seal. His skill set and culture fit make him an ideal addition to the Company’s senior management team.”</p>
<p>Mr. Huber is an experienced engineering leader with a strong skill set in product development, custom engineering solutions, strategic planning, lean policy, and people management. His career includes 26 years in aerospace and four years of industrial experience. Prior to joining Bal Seal, Mr. Huber served as the Senior Engineering Manager at Goodrich Hoist &#038; Winch, where he was responsible for recruiting, business development, and sustaining engineering.</p>
<p>Mr. Huber received his Masters in Business Administration from Rockford College, after graduating from the Milwaukee School of Engineering with his Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering.</p>
<p><b>About Bal Seal Engineering</b></p>
<p>Bal Seal’s (<a href="http://www.balseal.com"target="_blank">www.balseal.com</a>) core product was first conceived in 1951 by Peter J. Balsells, a young engineer and entrepreneur from Catalonia, Spain. Faced with a critical aerospace sealing challenge, Balsells applied education and inspiration to devise a new technology that combined the unique mechanical properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with a precision-engineered spring. Balsells’ invention, which outperformed conventional elastomeric o-rings and satisfied the toughest application requirements, became known as the Bal Seal® Spring-energized Seal. His energizer component, the Bal Seal Canted Coil Spring®,  proved effective in connecting and EMI/RFI shielding/grounding applications. When incorporated into housings made from various types of metals, the spring&#8217;s unique electrical and mechanical properties led to the development of Bal Seal connectors and connector systems. Today, Bal Seal Engineering is a growing, thriving organization of more than 435 employees, with dedicated manufacturing cells that serve medical, automotive, aerospace and many other industries.</p>

<p><b>About Posey Company</b></p>
<p>John Thornton Posey founded the Posey Company (<a href="http://www.posey.com"target="_blank">www.posey.com</a>) in 1937, when he built a bed cradle for a hospitalized friend who complained about the weight of the bedcovers on his feet. The hospital liked the idea, and asked for a price for 12 bed cradles. The Posey Company landed its first order, and made a profit of $12. As John Posey showed the bed cradles to other hospitals in the San Francisco area, he was asked to develop other products to assist in patient care. Soon, he expanded his travels beyond San Francisco, and after many years, John built a company with a worldwide reputation for innovative and practical healthcare products. In 1991, John handed the president&#8217;s gavel to his third son, Ernie, while maintaining a leadership role as Chairman of the Board. Today, the Posey Company manufactures over 600 products around the globe. Every Posey product engineered and manufactured by their dedicated team continues on a tradition of quality products and patient care.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>IRVINE, California, September 25, 2012</b> – McDermott &#038; Bull, a Southern California-based retained executive search firm, announced today the successful appointment of Mr. Paul Hathaway as Strategic Marketing Manager with Bendix/King in Albuquerque, New Mexico.</p>
<p>This executive recruiting engagement was conducted by <a href="http://www.mbsearch.com/profile/rod-mcdermott/"target="_blank">Rod McDermott</a>, Managing Partner at McDermott &#038; Bull Executive Search. According to Mr. McDermott, &#8220;Paul&#8217;s experience in general aviation avionics, and in particular, his personal experience in the rotary wing aircraft field, made him an ideal choice to lead this product category for Bendix/King.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr. Hathaway has over 12 years of product management experience dating back to Geographic Data Technology, and roughly 6 years of experience in the general aviation industry. Prior to joining Bendix/King, Mr. Hathaway was the Director of The Hathaway Family Foundation in Massachusetts, and earlier in his career, he was Director of Product Marketing at Avidyne Corporation, a general avionics company that pioneered the use of glass cockpits in small aircrafts. He is also an FAA certified multi-engine commercial pilot, an FAA certified rotorcraft pilot, and FAA airframe and power plant maintenance certified.</p>
<p>Mr. Hathaway obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Cinema from New York University, followed by his Masters of Arts in Cinema from New York University and his Basters of Business Administration from Franklin Pierce College.</p>
<p><b>About Bendix/King</b></p>
<p>The history of the Bendix/King name runs parallel to the development of King Radio up to the mid-1980s, when the Allied Corporation purchased Bendix Aviation and King Radio and combined the two to create Bendix/King avionics. In late 1985, the Allied Corporation merged with the Signal Companies to become Allied-Signal. In 1999, AlliedSignal merged with Honeywell and adopted the Honeywell name to take advantage of the company&#8217;s universal recognition throughout the industries it serves as well as in households around the world. Shortly after the merger was completed, Honeywell announced that due to pilot recognition and loyalty, it would retain the Bendix/King brand. Today, Bendix/King (<a href="http://www.bendixking.com"target="_blank">www.bendixking.com</a>) by Honeywell is a strategic business unit in Aerospace. It is a global leader in Avionics serving the General Aviation (GA) aircraft community with quality products, integrated system solutions, and services that make flying more comfortable, more secure, and more productive in every corner of the world.  </p>
