MANKATO, MN — Winland Electronics chairman Thomas J. de Petra has been named interim CEO and president, effective Jan. 2. He succeeds Lorin Krueger, who is retiring. The board hopes to have a permanent successor by the end of the first quarter, the company said in a press statement.

"We have made progress in the search to recruit a permanent replacement, but as we grow closer to Jan. 2, we wanted to put a transition process in place," de Petra said.

de Petra has been chairman since October 2006 and a director since 1994.
