Melville-based MSC Industrial Direct Co., one of the world's largest distributors of industrial tools and supplies, has announced that its chief financial officer is retiring.
The CFO, Jeff Kaczka, 55, will remain in his post until the company names a successor and a transitional handoff is complete, MSC said in an announcement earlier this week. The company said it has begun the search for a replacement.
"Jeff strengthened our financial operations, built a solid finance team, and brought even greater discipline to our business," said chief executive Erik Gershwind, who assumed the top spot on Jan. 1, 2013.
Kaczka became CFO in April 2011.
After he retires, Kaczka plans to focus on one of his "greatest passions," which he said was serving the community through charitable and volunteer activities.
