TROY, MI — Oxford Automotive, a $1 billion Tier 1 supplier of specialized welded metal assemblies, has named David Treadwell as its new CEO. Treadwell replaces John Potter who retired in June.
As CEO, Treadwell becomes responsible for the development of Oxford’s strategic direction, focusing immediately on its capital structuring and divestiture issues.

Treadwell led the divestiture and wrap up of Prechter Holdings after Prechter’s death.
