Charlotte-based SPX Corp., which announced in October that it plans to split into two companies, announced the appointment of four executive officers on Thursday.

“Their appointment as executive officers is a testament to the strength and depth of our management team. I am confident that these four highly capable leaders will continue to make meaningful contributions to the success and on-going development of our organization.”
