TRI-K Industries, Inc., a global leader in cosmetic actives and sustainable ingredients for the beauty and personal care industry, will cement its strategic roadmap with the appointment of two non-executive directors to its board: Fred Khoury, founder and President of Above Rinaldi Labs, California-based formulation house and contract manufacturer serving beauty brands around the globe; and Kevin Gallagher, a tenured beauty industry leader who led Croda Consumer Care and contributed to the success of other ingredient suppliers over the years.

“As we catalyze our efforts to claim TRI-K as a partner of choice for inspiring and differentiating beauty brands around the world, we anticipate Fred and Kevin to bring the much-needed external perspective. They will help refine our strategic thinking and challenge our execution of the strategic roadmap. I am particularly excited to have their contribution in our innovation and portfolio diversification activities,” said Rusmir Niksic, president and CEO at TRI-K.

“I am thrilled to join the TRI-K Board during such a transformative time for the company,” said Fred Khoury, newly appointed TRI-K Board Member. “This strategic shift reflects a strong dedication to innovation by embracing diverse perspectives. I am excited to support TRI-K in driving progress, delivering impactful solutions, and reinforcing its leadership in sustainable, high-performance ingredients.”

Gallagher spoke for the company when he said it’s committed to serving beauty care formulators by being a trusted ingredient partner who understands their needs for sustainable innovation.
