Since joining the company in January 2011, Robles has served as vice-president of operations in its intermediates business. He played a key role in launching the company’s latest nylon intermediates technology, which involved a $100 million investment.
“Kevin’s vision and industry knowledge will help further elevate our operational expertise for our customers and the communities in which we operate,” said Jeff Gentry, Invista’s chief executive.
The US-headquartered company has established a goal to reduce its energy intensity 20% by 2020. Mr Robles said: “Invista’s commitment to using energy efficiently has resulted in the development of many innovative energy-related strategies at our manufacturing locations around the world.”
Robles succeeds David Dotson, who will transfer to chemical group Flint Hills Resources from January 1, 2013.
