U.S. Silica Holdings Inc. said on Aug. 7 that Brad Casper, who serves as president of the Katy, Texas-based company, will resign “to pursue other opportunities.”
Casper joined U.S. Silica as vice president of strategic planning in 2011. He served as executive vice president and chief commercial officer from 2015 until his promotion to president in January 2020.
In a statement commenting on Casper’s resignation, which takes effect Aug. 31, CEO Bryan Shinn said: “Brad joined us nine years ago and has been an integral part of growing U.S. Silica into the diversified industrial minerals company that we are today. We appreciate Brad’s numerous contributions to our success and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
On July 31, U.S. Silica, which produces commercial silica used in a wide range of industrial applications and in the oil and gas industry, reported a net loss of $32.4 million, or $0.44 per basic and diluted share for the second quarter. The company said its second-quarter results were negatively impacted by $33.4 million of charges related to asset impairments, plant startup and expansion, facility closure costs and other adjustments.
