COLMAR, Pa., May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (“Dorman” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DORM) announced today the appointment of Kathleen Pacheco as President of the Specialty Vehicle business segment. As part of a planned succession, Ms. Pacheco replaces Lindsay Hunt, who previously served in the role and was the Chief Executive Officer of SuperATV prior to Dorman’s acquisition of the business in 2022. Ms. Hunt will remain with the Company in an advisory role to support the leadership team through the transition and serve as a resource to support continued growth of the business.

In connection with Ms. Pacheco’s appointment, Kevin Olsen, Dorman’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said “Kathleen has the experience and proven ability to drive growth, financial performance, and the continued success of our Specialty Vehicle business. We thank Lindsay for her dedication and visionary leadership as she guided SuperATV’s smooth transition and seamless integration following the acquisition. Lindsay has been integral in building a strong culture focused on product innovation and commercial excellence, and we look forward to her continued support of the business as Kathleen takes on her new role.”

Prior to her appointment as President, Specialty Vehicle, Ms. Pacheco served as Chief Operating Officer of the business segment. Before joining Dorman, she held senior leadership positions and other roles of increasing responsibility at Tenneco and Johnson Controls. She holds a Master of Science in Engineering Management from Marquette University, and a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Kettering University.

Ms. Hunt said, “Kathleen is an exceptional leader with a deep understanding of our business, our values, and our strategic objectives. As Chief Operating Officer, she has been instrumental in leading changes to our innovation and development teams, and in supply chain transformation. I am looking forward to continuing to work with her and the Dorman team in my new role.”

Ms. Pacheco said, “I’m inspired by the confidence that Dorman’s leadership has shown in me and the exciting future ahead for Dorman and its Specialty Vehicle business. I’m committed to building on the SuperATV legacy and brand, and I look forward to benefiting from Lindsay’s experience and advice as I take on my new role.”
