STEMCO®, an EnPro Industries company, announced the passing of industry veteran Richard Palmer. Palmer served in several roles at STEMCO since joining the company in 1987, most recently holding the position of segment business leader for wheel end products. He was 59 years old.

STEMCO employees and partners will remember Palmer as being well-respected, trusted, and willing to teach and help others, while always performing at a high level. “We are heartbroken at the news of Richard’s passing,” said Todd Anderson, president of STEMCO. “He’s been an extremely valuable part of our team for decades, but we know his legacy is far greater than that. We will miss him tremendously.”

Palmer began his career with STEMCO in 1987 as district sales manager, a position he held for 10 years. He then served as western regional manager for 13 years and southeast regional manager for eight years before being promoted to segment business leader for wheel end products in December 2017.
