SINGAPORE, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecolab Inc., the global leader in water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions and services, named Gregory Lukasik senior vice president and market head for Southeast Asia.

"Greg's experience with industrial businesses in Asia will help bring new perspectives and ideas to our strong Southeast Asia team and help us meet the critical operational and sustainability needs of our customers in the region," said Ecolab Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Christophe Beck.

Lukasik said that Ecolab's industry-leading approach to infection prevention and sustainability were two important considerations in taking on this leadership role.

"Over the past two years, we've all become aware of just how quickly infections can break out or escalate," added Lukasik.

I am thrilled to have joined the Ecolab team as we work to solve the challenges our customers and our planet face."
