TriMas Announces Departure of Josh Sherbin, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TriMas (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced that Joshua Sherbin, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, is leaving TriMas.

Mr. Sherbin has had a distinguished 16-year career at TriMas, which included supporting the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, helping navigate through numerous acquisitions, divestitures and a spin-off, and supporting the Company and its operating divisions on legal, safety, compliance, governance, and employee-related matters. He has been an instrumental part of TriMas’ leadership team, particularly as TriMas has managed through the unprecedented pandemic period of the past year.

“Josh has made significant contributions to TriMas over the past 16 years through his prudent judgement, integrity and legal counsel,” said Samuel Valenti III, Chairman of the Board of Directors at TriMas. “He has been an instrumental leader who has helped shape TriMas into the company it is today.”

This additional realignment of the Company’s corporate office functions is the latest in TriMas’ streamlining of its infrastructure approach to better align with the proactive steps taken to focus its business portfolio. Mr. Sherbin will cease operating in his officer capacities on March 5, 2021, but he will remain employed with the Company through May 11, 2021, to offer transitional support through TriMas’ Annual Shareholders Meeting.

“We wish Josh all the best as he embarks on the next chapter of his legal career,” said Thomas Amato, President and Chief Executive Officer of TriMas. “While his service to TriMas will be missed, his legacy of improving TriMas’ governance oversight will remain strong.”

In connection with this announcement, Jodi Robin will serve as interim General Counsel while TriMas restructures its legal approach.
