June 8, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Dover Corp. (NYSE: DOV) has hired Brad M. Cerepak to replace Robert G. Kuhbach, as the company’s chief financial officer. Kuhbach is retiring.

As part of the transition plan, Cerepak, who starts at Dover on June 8 as vice president of finance, will become CFO on August 1. Kuhbach will continue as CFO until July 31, and is expected to remain with Dover as a VP and senior advisor until his retirement later in the year.

Cerepak was most recently VP and controller of Trane, Inc., where he had primary responsibility for the global accounting function, including global compliance. Prior to that, he served as CFO of American Standard’s bath and kitchen division.

Before joining American Standard, Cerepak spent nearly ten years with Allied Signal/Honeywell in a variety of senior financial positions, including CFO of their automation and control solutions business as well as CFO of their automotive consumer products group.

Kuhbach, who joined Dover in 1993 as its first VP, general counsel and secretary, was promoted to VP of finance and CFO in November 2002.
