Gilreath to Lead Electrical Operations;
Seidel to Lead Steel Structures Operations
Two long-time T&B managers have been promoted to key positions in operations.
Chuck Gilreath, a 22-year T&B veteran, has been named vice president of operations for the Electrical Division. Chuck replaces Tim Coates, who left T&B to pursue an opportunity with a global internet retailer provider.
Chuck joined T&B as supply chain manager at the Athens, Tenn., electrical manufacturing facility and was part of the team that helped the facility earn recognition as one of Industry Week magazine's Top 10 U.S. plants in 2005. Chuck most recently served as vice president of operations for the HVAC business and as interim head of operations for the Steel Structures division.
In other operational news, Dan Seidel has been named vice president of operations for the Steel Structures division.
Dan joined T&B in 1998 in a technical role in our Hackettstown, N.J., utility products manufacturing facility. Most recently, he was the plant manager at our Jonesboro electrical manufacturing facility. Dan has also held positions such as plant manager, Orange Facility, manufacturing engineering manager, and product manager. Dan completed T&B's Lean Six Sigma Black Belt program in 2003. He went on to receive his Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt and became one of T&B's trainers for the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Program. Dan is also a recent graduate of the AmpUp Leadership Development Program at T&B. (See PowerLine Spring 2011).
"At our core, Thomas & Betts is a manufacturing company and ensuring that we have the best talent running our facilities is critical to our success," said Chuck Treadway, president and chief operating officer. "We are pleased to fill these key positions with well-qualified internal talent. Dan and Chuck's promotions demonstrate the value and effectiveness of our succession planning and talent management process."
