"The old IBC organization served us well at one time. But, it also resulted in duplicate work among organizations, too many layers for quick and effective decision-making and unnecessary complexity," said Craig Jung, chief executive officer. "Our new matrix organization will focus IBC more clearly on our customers and on improving product quality, enhancing service-to-sales, and lowering costs. It will result in improved communication, better planning, and an increased focus on results. All of which will help IBC win in the market place."
At the same time, the company announced that it has collapsed its sales management structure, eliminating two layers of sales management and approximately 215 sales management positions, or approximately 5% of its non-union workforce.
