“This succession plan has been years in development,” Eckert said. “When we started the company I envisioned and planned for this day. I could not be happier with today’s announcement. Michael has been instrumental in the success of all aspects of EIHI. I am pleased that I was able to lead the Eastern family of companies and that I have helped them achieve this important transition.”
