Somnigroup International Announces New President of Leggett & Platt

"I am delighted that Tyson has been elevated to this new role at the company," stated Mr. Glassman. "Over the course of his 25-year career at Leggett & Platt, Tyson has attained broad experience across multiple facets of our business, including mergers and acquisitions, strategic planning, and operational leadership. During the last five years while serving as President of our Bedding Products segment, he played an instrumental role in executing a major restructuring to improve profitability in the face of industry headwinds. Tyson is well-suited to help me lead Leggett & Platt as we embark on this exciting new chapter as part of the Somnigroup family."

"Naming Tyson as President of Leggett & Platt is reflective of Somnigroup's deep respect for the legacy Leggett & Platt management team in general and Tyson's accomplishments specifically," commented Scott Thompson, Chairman and CEO of Somnigroup. "The Somnigroup team and I have worked with Tyson for many years. He is well-respected in the bedding industry and, importantly, understands the Leggett & Platt business beyond bedding. His commitment to the core values that have guided Leggett & Platt for over 100 years will ensure the continued success of the company under his enhanced leadership role."
