PHILADELPHIA — Don Lewis has been named president of SCA Tissue North America, effective April 1, the company has announced.
Lewis was formerly SCA Tissue senior vice president, sales and marketing, a position he held since joining the company in 2001. Prior to joining SCA, Lewis was executive VP at Encore Paper, which SCA acquired in 2001 upon entering the North American market.
Lewis, 46, has 21 years of experience in the paper industry. After graduating from Youngstown State University, he began his paper career with Fort Howard Paper Company in Green Bay.
