ELMIRA, N.Y. — F. M. Howell & Company, an Elmira–based provider of packaging products and services, announced on Monday that it has appointed Michael P. Hosey as its new chief financial officer (CFO).
He brings extensive experience in financial leadership and community engagement to the role. Hosey has served as the company’s interim director of finance since April, according to a prior announcement on the F. M. Howell & Company website. That came after the unexpected death of Pamela A. Brayton, the firm’s executive VP of finance and treasurer, in mid-March.
Hosey began his career at the local accounting advisory firm Mengel Metzger Barr & Co. and spent 38 years with Elmira Savings Bank, where he advanced from controller to CEO and then chairman of the board. During his tenure, the bank expanded to 16 locations across six counties with assets of about $625 million, per the Oct. 6 announcement.
Hosey has also served as a member of the F. M. Howell & Company board of directors since 2015. He is also deeply involved in the Elmira community, serving on the boards of multiple nonprofit organizations.
“Mike consistently demonstrates determination and a commitment to excellence. His experience and leadership will contribute significantly to the continued growth and success of our company,” Katherine H. Roehlke, president and CEO of F. M. Howell & Company, said in the announcement.
Hosey earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting and an MBA in finance from the University of Scranton.
F. M. Howell & Company is a fourth-generation, family-owned and privately held business that was founded in 1883. It is a certified women’s business enterprise. Three divisions offer related services to the pharmaceutical industry and beyond: Howell Marketing Services provides fulfillment and distribution services; Howell Packaging designs and manufactures folding cartons and rigid boxes, while also offering secondary contract packaging services; and Howell Plastics specializes in custom thermoforming of plastic packaging products.
