Twin-Star International, manufacturer of electric fireplaces, bathroom furniture, media consoles, wine cabinets, heaters, infrared heaters, and stoves within the brands of ClassicFlame, Chimney Free, Tresanti, Black & Decker, Duraflame, and Luxe Bath Works, has named Robert Cohen as its CEO. Cohen spent 11 years with Armstrong World Industries, culminating in his role as president and CEO of Armstrong Cabinet Products.

Under his leadership, the company posted record revenues and collected three J.D. Power awards for the industry’s highest customer satisfaction. Cohen’s previous experience also includes positions at Procter & Gamble, American Airlines, and Sunbeam Corp.

“It’s a great honor to be joining the Twin-Star team. The company is the clear market leader, in terms of product design and customer service, and I look forward to building on that success,” Cohen says. The addition of Cohen to the organization will allow company founder Mark Asofsky to focus his talents on continuing to create new market-leading product designs, as well as focusing on business development (while still serving as cochair of the company).

“Rob’s appointment adds to what I believe is the one of best management teams in the industry,” Asofsky says. “With such a strong team in place, I felt this was the right time to take a step back and focus on my true passion, product design. I am also excited to have more time to focus on the charitable activities of the Asofsky Family Foundation.” Cohen will be based in Twin-Star International’s headquarters in Delray Beach, Florida, and will relocate there with his wife, Karen.
