MILWAUKEE, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brady Corporation (NYSE: BRC) (“Brady” or “Company”), today announced that the Board of Directors has appointed Vineet Nargolwala, an accomplished technology executive and a current member of the Company’s Board of Directors, to succeed Russell Shaller as Chief Executive Officer effective June 8, 2026. Mr. Shaller recently informed the Board of Directors of his decision to retire as both an officer and director of the Company. At the request of the Board of Directors, Mr. Shaller will remain with the Company in a consultative position until August 1, 2026, to ensure a smooth transition. Mr. Nargolwala will remain a member of the Board of Directors.

Bradley Richardson, Chair of the Board of Directors of Brady Corporation, said, “On behalf of our Board and the entire Brady team worldwide, I would like to thank Russell for his unparalleled contributions to the Company over the past eleven years. Under his leadership, the Company made strategic investments that drove market share, record-high EPS results, and strong returns to our shareholders. During his tenure as CEO, the market value of the company rose nearly 90%. We are eternally grateful to Russell, and we wish him the very best in his retirement.”

“It has been a privilege to lead the Brady Corporation team,” said Russell Shaller. “Together, we launched incredible new products, expanded our portfolio through key strategic acquisitions, and achieved five consecutive years of both organic sales growth and record EPS. I have worked closely with Vineet over the past four years, and I believe that I leave the organization in extremely capable hands. I am excited for the future of Brady as it embarks upon the next chapter of growth.”

The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Nargolwala is uniquely qualified to succeed Mr. Shaller as the Chief Executive Officer as the Company significantly expands and transforms with the announced acquisition of the Productivity Solutions and Services (“PSS”) business from Honeywell. He is a proven public company CEO with extensive experience leading growth and cultural transformations in global technology organizations with deep engineering and technology cultures.
