San Francisco —

Jack Salisbury has joined American Pacific as CEO, based in San Francisco.

He succeeds Greg Block, who remains as chairman of the board. “The past 15 years at American Pacific have truly been a blessing for me and my family. I will always treasure the relationships I have built,” Block said.

While Block will miss being involved in the day-to-day operations of the company, he said he looks forward to this new stage and has every confidence in Salisbury. “Jack possesses all the blended experiences in sales, marketing, operations, and general management to make him a real asset to this company and its development,” Block said.

Salisbury has spent time working for Vanity Fair, Sara Lee, and, most recently, Fruit of the Loom. His introduction to the company and its customers took place during the New York Home Textiles Market earlier this month.
