INDEX Corporation Announces Huggett to Succeed Taylor as President/CEO



(l-r) Cris Taylor and Michael Huggett

INDEX Corporation has announced that Michael Huggett will succeed Cris Taylor as the company's President and CEO. Huggett will assume leadership of the company during a transition period in April 2025, concluding with Taylor's retirement at the end of that month.

Huggett brings with him over 30 years of industry experience. He started his career as a machinist, followed by roles of increasing responsibility at multiple prominent machine tool builders. Most recently, he served as the director of sales for INDEX Corporation since early 2017.

"Over the past eight years, INDEX has significantly increased its annual sales in the North American market," said Reiner Hammerl, Managing Director-Sales of INDEX Werke, the German parent company of INDEX Corporation. "Michael has played a vital role in that growth and in the transformation of our subsidiary. He possesses the perfect combination of experience and expertise to ensure that we continue to grow our customer base and evolve to meet their changing needs."

Taylor took the helm of INDEX Corporation in January 2021 and has overseen much of the company's growth. His retirement caps a 40-year career that began as a machine building apprentice and culminated in serving as CEO of multiple machine tool organizations over the past two decades.
