ALBANY INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT
CHANGES
Rochester, New Hampshire, December 11, 2015
– Albany International Corp. (NYSE:AIN) announced today senior management changes in Albany
Engineered Composites, Inc. (AEC).
Ralph Polumbo,
President of AEC, will retire on January 1, 2016, at which time Diane Loudon, AEC’s Senior Vice President for Operations
and General Manager of Albany Safran Composites, LLC, will be promoted to succeed Mr. Polumbo. Ms. Loudon will report to Dr. Joseph
G. Morone, President and CEO of Albany International.
In announcing
Mr. Polumbo’s retirement, Dr. Morone said, “Throughout his nearly ten-year career with Albany International, Ralph
has been intimately involved in the Company’s transformation. For the first half of his tenure, as Senior Vice President
HR and then Chief Administrative Officer, he helped shape the restructuring and renewal of Machine Clothing. And since 2010, he
has led Albany Engineered Composites through a critical phase of maturation, building the organization, talent, systems and business
processes required to meet the unprecedented ramp up in volume that begins next year with the entry into service of the LEAP engine.”
Ms. Loudon joined Albany Engineered Composites
in November 2011 as Senior Vice President for Operations, and has led Albany Safran Composites since November 2013. In the twenty
years prior to joining AEC, she served in a variety of executive roles in operations and program management in the medical devices
industry, most recently at Accellent.

deep experience in operations, a passionate commitment to enterprise-wide operational excellence, and a very personal and engaged
style of leadership – precisely the combination required to lead AEC simultaneously through the ramp up of the LEAP engine
and the conversion to commercial reality of our new business opportunity pipeline. All of us at Albany look forward to working
with Diane in this pivotal moment in the growth of AEC,” said Dr. Morone.
