The precision technology company, headquartered in Westlake, Ohio, confirmed that Matejka will serve as the primary liaison to the investment community, supporting the communication of Nordson’s long-term growth strategy and financial performance.

Lara Mahoney, who previously led investor relations, has been appointed to a new leadership role focused on corporate communications and developing enterprise talent. Dan Hopgood, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Nordson Corporation, stated that Matejka brings a unique combination of finance, strategy, and operating experience. Hopgood noted that Matejka’s understanding of Nordson’s businesses and financial acumen will help him build relationships with the investment community.
