Both were portfolio companies of Atlas Holdings LLC. Before that he worked with Weiler in a similar role at Atlas Material Testing, a portfolio company of Industrial Growth Partners that was sold to AMETEK in 2010. Previously he was Chief Financial Officer of Hostway Corporation, a privately owned web hosting and technology services enterprise, and at Bayer Health Care’s Diabetes Care Division, a $1 billion subsidiary of Bayer AG. Eldert earned Bachelor of Science degrees in Accounting and Agribusiness from Illinois State University. He also received an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg Graduate School of Management with concentrations in Finance and Management Strategy.

“I am excited to be joining the Micronics team,” said Eldert. “Micronics’ dry filtration businesses (CP Environmental and Southern Filter Media) are strong, have tremendous growth potential and well-deserved reputations for exceeding their customers’ dry filtration needs. I look forward to working closely with Rick and the rest of the management team to help all of the businesses under the Micronics Holdings umbrella continue to grow.”
