Mischaikov named CEO of Ferndale manufacturer

Ferndale-based Absorption Corp. has hired a new CEO, and it didn't have to look far to find someone interested in growing the company domestically and internationally.

Ted Mischaikov was hired by the company as it prepares to enter a growth phase that not only includes expanding into markets such as the Europe, Asia and South America, but also plans on developing new products, he said.

"It's a nice, interesting change for me and a role I feel comfortable with," Mischaikov said. "I'll have a chance to work with some very smart, innovative people in a company that's poised for growth."
