King Systems' two top execs exit company

Back to TopCommentsE-mailPrint

Noblesville-based King Systems Corp. is without its two top executives after both abruptly left the company on Wednesday.

CEO Don Dumoulin and Chief Financial Officer Yun Kim exited King Systems in a “mutual agreement” with Great Britain-based parent company Consort Medical PLC, said its CEO, Jonathan Glenn.

King Systems manufactures anesthesia and respiratory care products. With 475 local employees, it’s the third-largest medical device developer in the Indianapolis area, according to IBJ statistics.

Glenn, who arrived in Noblesville earlier this week to announce the departures, declined to provide specifics on why the two were let go.

“The business is fine,” he said. “There’s nothing sinister behind this.”

Calls to Dumoulin’s home at the Bridgewater Golf Club in Carmel were not returned.

A search is under way for a new chief executive and CFO, said Glenn, noting that a couple of executives from Consort will be overseeing King Systems' operations until permanent replacements are named.

Founded by Flois Burrow in 1977, the company was acquired by Bespak PLC—now called Consort Medical—in December 2005 in a deal valued at up to $95 million.

In April 2007, King Systems bought Emergent Respiratory Products Inc. of Irvine, Calif., for $38 million.

King Systems hired Dumoulin, a former Roche Diagnostics Corp. executive, as its CEO in October 2008. Under his watch, the company twice ran afoul of government regulations.

In October 2009, the Indiana Department of Labor slapped King Systems with a $191,000 fine for repeatedly failing to mitigate employees’ exposure to dangerous gases.

Two months later, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ordered the company to quit marketing its oropharyngeal airway for uses not yet approved by the agency.

Dumoulin, a vice president at Roche, was let go from that company after shipping $11.7 million worth of diabetes-testing equipment in September 2006 to grifter Dina Wein Reis after she convinced him she was running a not-for-profit.

    1. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

    2. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!

    3. Coming from her background,she should be used to those kinds of advances! Menard probably figured it was ok to tuck a buck!

    4. I'm still waiting for the list of available, high quality apartments in the Village.

    5. This criminal masquerading as a lawyer obviously has serious issues. He’s been proven by his own testimony to be a pathological liar and probably has a personality disorder as he seems to be constructing a reality around himself. He places no value on truth, honesty or loyalty as evidenced by what he has done to his clients and his own family. And by the demands and lies he has made in court, it is evident he feels entitled to do and say whatever suits his purpose and everyone else is expected to nod obediently and believe him because he is, after all, Bill Super Lawyer; or BS lawyer for short. This millionaire wanna-be no longer owns anything of value; he squandered it and put everything he had into foreclosure. He has no money, house, car, boat or vacation home left to show for what he earned or what he stole. He’s just another loser without morals who will be doing time. I’m certain all of his courtroom shenanigans are antagonizing his poor victims. As Lamar said, his behavior and claims in court have been outrageous. The judge needs to be more than concerned; he needs to be judicial and end this nonsense.
