USTMA Statement on the Retirement of Pete Selleck, Chairman and President Michelin North America, Inc.

November 17, 2017

U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) President and CEO Anne Forristall Luke issued the following statement on the retirement announcement of Michelin North America, Inc. Chairman and President Pete Selleck.

Pete Selleck leaves a lasting legacy of visionary leadership in the tire manufacturing industry.

Pete led our organization from 2013-2015 as Chairman of the Board of Directors when USTMA developed and executed a successful strategy that delivered important safety and competitive provisions in the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. That public policy achievement will drive progress in the U.S. tire manufacturing industry for years to come.

Following his term as Board Chair, he continued to participate vigorously with his colleagues to establish a new vision and strategy for USTMA that led to a rebranding of our organization grounded in dedication to safety through innovation, economic value and environmental stewardship.

Pete’s commitment to the highest values and an industry that makes a better society will never be forgotten. We will miss his strong presence and keen insights from his three decades of industry experience at Michelin. We offer our very best wishes to Pete as he begins a new chapter.
