Avcorp Announces Organizational Changes

VANCOUVER, June 1, 2017

Effective immediately, Jim Renaud will lead the Avcorp Group business development activities in his new role as Senior Vice President, Customers for the Avcorp Group of companies.  Jim transitions to this new role after serving as ACF General Manager of the Commercial business, in Gardena. During his tenure in that role, Jim led a number of key negotiations with customers and was instrumental in driving efficiencies and right-sizing the operations. Jim's deep understanding of operational capabilities and customers' needs makes him uniquely qualified for this new role.

Effective immediately Marty Jones is named Site General Manager, Avcorp Composites Fabrication, in Gardena, California, with operational responsibility for both the Commercial and Military businesses.

Peter George, CEO of the Avcorp Group, commented "It's critical that customers establish and maintain the highest degree of confidence with prospective suppliers, and that must be established at the earliest possible point in the relationship. Jim Renaud's level of technical and operational expertise provides that confidence for our customers. I'm looking forward to the impact Marty Jones will continue to have as he adds the oversight of the Commercial programs to his scope of responsibility, and to working closely with Jim Renaud as we continue the development plan for our Gardena operation."
