HOUSTON, Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Flotek Industries, Inc. ("Flotek" or the "Company") (NYSE: FTK) today announced executive leadership changes and an increase to its borrowing capacity under its credit facility as filed in a form 8-K, Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Josh Snively, EVP and President Florida Chemical will act as the Company's head of operations and will oversee operations of the Energy Chemistry Technologies ("ECT") segment and the Consumer and Industrial Chemistry Technologies ("CICT") segment.  This will lead to greater company-wide synergies and continue the path of focusing Flotek on increasing cash flows through streamlining processes.  Mr. Snively joined Florida Chemical in 1995 and has well over 20 years of experience in managing chemistry manufacturing processes and facilities. He graduated with a degree in Finance and Citrus Management from Florida Southern College. Mr. Snively currently serves on the board of CenterState Bank and is acting chairman of the Bank's loan committee.  Mr. Snively's full bio can be found at www.flotekind.com. 

James Silas will become part of the executive leadership team and report directly to John Chisholm, CEO and Chairman. This will allow greater streamlining of product development and further accelerate go-to-market opportunities of products. Dr. Silas has over 15 years of physics and chemistry experience with surfactants and polymers. Dr. Silas was an assistant professor of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University before joining Flotek and holds a B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University, a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from University of Delaware, and was a NIH Ruth L Kirschstein Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Pennsylvania in Bioengineering. Dr. Silas' full bio can be found at www.flotekind.com. 

As a part of these leadership changes, Robert Bodnar, will no longer serve as EVP, Performance and Transformation Officer.

Additionally, in a form 8-K filed with the SEC Tuesday, Flotek has announced it has amended its credit facility, increasing the capacity from $65 million to $75 million and extending the term to May, 2022.  Detailed changes to the restrictions and important information regarding this facility can be found in form 8-K which is also available on the Company's website and through the SEC website.

John Chisholm, Flotek's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "We thank Robert Bodnar for playing an important role in the transformation of Flotek. Moving forward, Josh will play an expanding role in the organization's cross-segment integration and G&A reduction strategy which we look forward to providing more clarity into on the Company's upcoming earnings conference call. Dr. Silas has been pivotal in the build out of our Global Research and Innovation Center and will continue to help shape the future of Flotek. His inclusion into our executive leadership team should provide accelerated product introduction and customer adoption lifecycles. Additionally, our client base continues to expand its reliance on our industry leading Research capabilities in the application of chemistry to their reservoirs, his increased responsibilities come at the right time to address this growing focus. 

"We believe the ability for Flotek to increase its borrowing capacity further allows for greater flexibility to fund growth and opportunities to increase shareholder value. We continue to appreciate the long-standing relationship with our lender and ability to grow together."
