Management Changes at Furnace Builder

Following the completion of the consolidation of the SECO/WARWICK Group's U.S. companies, the organization in the United States is entering the next stage of development. Donald Marteeny, who has been associated with SECO/WARWICK for many years, is assuming the role of Managing Director of SECO/WARWICK USA. Piotr Zawistowski, who has led the U.S. organization to date, is joining the Supervisory Board of the SECO/WARWICK Group, where he will oversee its continued development in the North American market.

"Don knows the organization from the inside out, understands the technology, and knows how important quality, on-time delivery, and customer trust are. After the consolidation of U.S. companies, we need leadership that stays close to the operations, the team, and the market. I believe he will bring energy, decisiveness, and a highly practical perspective to the continued development of our presence in North America," said Sławomir Woźniak, CEO of the SECO/WARWICK Group.

SECO/WARWICK USA remains a key part of the Group's global structure. The U.S. organization is responsible for serving one of the world's most demanding industrial markets while developing capabilities in vacuum technologies, service, local manufacturing, and the implementation of solutions from the Group's portfolio.

Piotr Zawistowski, who has managed SECO/WARWICK's U.S. organization to date, is joining the Supervisory Board of the SECO/WARWICK Group. In his new role, he will support the Group's Management Board in sales and the strategic development of the Group on the North American market. He will also help strengthen the connection of knowledge, resources, technological assets and competencies between SECO/WARWICK USA in Meadville and Retech in Buffalo. This is particularly important in the context of the Group's continued development of its American pillar, which encompasses both heat treatment technologies and advanced vacuum metallurgy solutions.

"I congratulate Don on taking on his new role and wish him every success. At the same time, I would like to thank the entire team for their years of intensive work, especially for their commitment to the consolidation process and building a stronger organization. By joining the Supervisory Board, I will remain close to the Group's U.S. business and support the continued growth of the SECO/WARWICK global brand," commented Piotr Zawistowski.
