George Abd, Chairman of Revolution and Operating Partner of Arsenal stated, “We are so grateful for the incredible leadership and partnership that Sean Whiteley has provided the company and look forward to continued collaboration with him as a board member. We are thrilled to welcome Scott Coleman as CEO as he brings a deep understanding of Revolution’s differentiated model and growth prospects, enabling him to hit the ground running.”

Coleman stated, “It has been an honor to be part of the great management team at Revolution to build what we believe to be a unique company in the sustainable materials segment. In the past 10 years, the company has diverted over two billion pounds of waste from landfills and other disposal methods, and has used that waste to create new, high-quality films and sustainable resins for critical applications, including agricultural irrigation where Revolution’s products have saved over a trillion gallons of water versus other irrigation methods. Market demand for sustainable flexible film solutions is growing enormously and I am excited to partner with our talented team, of which I have been proud to have helped build, to continue to lead in this innovative space.”
