Mueller Water Products names Hall as president, CEO

Mueller Water Products has announced that its Board of Directors has appointed J. Scott Hall as its next president and chief executive officer, effective Jan. 23, 2017.  Hall joins the company from Textron, Inc., where he most recently served as president and chief executive officer of its Industrial Segment. Hall, who will also join Mueller’s Board, succeeds current president and CEO Gregory E. Hyland, who will transition to the role of executive chairman. 

“We are very pleased to have appointed Scott as CEO,” said Hyland. “With [the] announcement of the sale of our Anvil International division, Mueller Water Products is now a pure-play water infrastructure company that is well-positioned for continued growth, and we believe Scott is the ideal leader, at exactly the right time, to take our business into the future.
