"I've cut my teeth in whiteware but I've also been part of healthcare from day one," Mr Paykel said.
F&P is preparting to separate its whiteware and healthcare divisions and list the high-growth healthcare unit on the Nasdaq.
Shareholders will vote on the separation process at a shareholders' meeting expected to be held in the second half of September or in October 2001.
The company this week announced a reduced profit of $11 million for the year to the end of March, but the market accepted the result was affected by $64.2 million of unrealised foreign exchange losses and a $5.5 million writedown of its investment in retailer Hill & Stewart. Mr Paykel said it was not unusual for the company to help out its network of dealers but had not declared it before.
