"Killion will assist with the transition process, the company said, as it searches for a permanent CEO.

As Killion described the hand-off,

The company has been moving from the developmental and innovation stage to a manufacturing and commercial production stage, and this transition calls for change. The board and I believe a new CEO and president who has a strong history specific to manufacturing and operational excellence will greatly benefit the company during this transition and best lead through its next stage of growth.

Killion remarked that he was “honored to have served as UniPixel’s president and CEO over these many years.” He added that he was proud of the company’s progress over the last year, and that the company’s partnership with Kodak “will be the commercialization catalyst that launches UniPixel forward into 2014.”
