Young to lead DAK Americas

Jorge Young has been with DAK Americas LLC, a Charlotte, N.C., producer of PET resins and polyester fibers, since it was first established in 2001. In January, he was named president and CEO of DAK Americas, building on his work to achieve tremendous growth in the company’s PET resin business. Young’s promotion follows the retirement of Hector Camberos, who plans to return to his native Argentina to assume leadership of DAK Americas’ Argentina PET business and initiatives of parent company Alfa S.A.B. de C.V. The DAK Americas executive team will also be expanded and changed to consolidate operations after a period of rapid growth.
