    NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Taylor Cole, president of Bridgestone Americas' OTR business unit, is leaving that position to take over as president of Firestone Building Products L.L.C., a sister company under the Bridgestone umbrella.

    Mr. Cole, who joined Bridgestone in 2015, is succeeding Tim Dunn, who will retire Oct. 1 after more than 31 years with Firestone and parent company Bridgestone Americas.

    Bill Thompson, Bridgestone chief operating officer, said Mr. Cole "brings years of leadership experience and strong vision to his new role, ensuring the continued success of our Building Products business."

    Bridgestone has not named Mr. Cole's successor in the OTR sector.

    Prior to joining Bridgestone, he was managing director of U.S. new equipment and aftermarket business units at Howden North America Inc. He also served in executive roles at Intergraph Corp., Sandvik Mining and Construction and Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold Inc. in the U.S. and overseas.

    Regarding Mr. Dunn, Mr. Thompson said: "Tim's leadership has been instrumental in growing Firestone Building Products into the organization it is today, and he has been a strong and visionary leader through his 31 years with Bridgestone,"

    Mr. Dunn joined Bridgestone Americas in 1986 as a territory manager for consumer replacement tire and held various leadership positions throughout his career, including director of national marketing and supply chain management and president of Firestone Fibers & Textiles before assuming his current role.

    Firestone Building Products is a manufacturer and supplier of commercial roofing systems, roofing accessories, green roofing systems and daylighting systems, vegetative roofing systems, metal wall panels, insulations, cavity wall construction, pond liners and geomembranes.
