ReEnergy Holdings LLC, has appointed Eric Dumond of Waterville as the company’s wood procurement manager.
Eric Dumond 
has more than 30 years of experience in the forest products industry. In his new post, he will be responsible for the coordination of fuel purchasing activities to ensure the proper implementation of the fuel plan and management of wood fuel inventory at the company’s biomass-to-energy facilities.
