INVISTA, a global leader in nylon 6,6 and propylene production, has announced the appointment of Francis Murphy as its new president and CEO. Murphy, who previously held various leadership positions at Flint Hills Resources (FHR), a Koch company and affiliate of INVISTA, brings 30 years of industry experience to the role.

Having joined INVISTA as part of the company's acquisition of FHR's propylene business in 2022, Murphy is well-positioned to lead the organization as it seeks to expand its presence in the nylon 6,6 and propylene value chains.

"As president and CEO of INVISTA, I look forward to working with our global employees and partners as we continue to innovate in these key areas," said Murphy. "We are excited about the tremendous opportunities ahead for our business."

Murphy takes over from Jeff Gentry, who recently retired after nearly four decades with INVISTA and Koch companies.
