Fill manufacturer Downlite has announced that its chief executive, James Lape, is to step down from his position, passing the torch to chief finance officer, and member of the family that owns Downlite, Josh Werthaiser. Mr Lape will remain on the company’s board; he has been chief executive for the last ten years, having spent the previous 25 years with Levi Strauss.

He said on announcing his retirement: “My leadership role at Downlite has been the most rewarding. Downlite is an incredible family business with great employees, and strength in distribution and product. I am grateful for the opportunity.”
 
Josh Werthaiser joined the company in 2001. He was the first second-generation member of his family to work at the company.
