IRVING, Texas, April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- EF Johnson Technologies, Inc. announced today that Jim Green has been named president and CEO, replacing Andrew Adams, who is leaving EFJohnson to return closer to family.

"Mr. Green brings a strong executive leadership background to EFJohnson, which recently joined our JVCKENWOOD group," commented Haruo Kawahara, chairman and chief executive officer of JVCKENWOOD.

With his customer knowledge, we are excited to have Mr. Green lead the continued growth of EFJohnson."
