Independent, global cosmetics ingredient company Inolex has announced the appointment of Arthur (Art) Knox to take on the role of vice president and global head of personal care sales.

In this role, Art will have responsibility for leadership of INOLEX’s global sales team, developing new business opportunities, and creating customized solutions for our client needs​,” the company said in a statement.

We are very pleased to have Art join the INOLEX team​,” said David Plimpton, President & CEO of INOLEX. “Art comes to INOLEX with a wealth of experience in the personal care industry and a track record of successful global sales leadership.”
