BIDDEFORD, Maine – Preparing for expansion, Maine Textiles International has named Mark W. Boyer as the company’s new CEO.

 

As CEO, Boyer will lead the company’s expansion into new segments and markets both domestically and internationally while maintaining the organization’s environmentally conscious and customer-centric focus.

 

Prior to joining Maine Textiles International, Boyer was the principal of The Joe Group, a national consulting group providing a compilation of services in multiple industries and segments to companies large and small.

 

Boyer also served as CEO of Foundation Financial Group from 2011 until 2014, where he created a strategic platform for the company’s growth. Under Boyer, the financial services company experienced exponential growth throughout the U.S. and expanded its services from mortgages to include taxes, retirement and insurance.

 

“My background growing companies will be instrumental in leading our expansion,” said Boyer. “We see increasing demand for U.S. textile manufacturing and we’re preparing to accommodate that demand.”

 

Previous Maine Textiles CEO Claudia Raessler is moving to strategic alliances and continues to serve as in-house counsel for the company. In 2012, under Raessler’s leadership, the company acquired dyeing equipment from the Northeast and began its initial start-up phase and production.
