Company news
Emily F. Dixon has been named president and CEO of Panelfold, which has manufactured operable walls, accordion partitions, folding doors, and relocatable partitions since 1953. She succeeds her father, Guy E. Dixon III, who passed away on July 29, 2016. Guy had served as president and CEO since 2003 when his late father, Guy E. Dixon II, retired after 50 years of leading the company he founded.
“Guy was a central force in building Panelfold into a successful global manufacturer whose innovative products can be found in 55 countries around the world,” says Emily. “He was exceedingly proud to lead one of Florida’s largest manufacturers and of our company’s 63-year history of ownership and management by the same family, now in its third generation.”
