Pittsburgh-based Jennmar, a provider of infrastructure products and specialized services, recently appointed Michael Portwood as operating officer.
“As Jennmar continues to grow its US and global operations, the company is well-positioned to continue delivering the critical, high-quality products and services our customers have come to expect while maintaining a relentless focus on safety, innovation, and unmatched customer service,” Portwood said.
Portwood has more than 30 years of experience. He previously served as Minova Americas president and Orica general manager of global projects, and has founded multiple businesses. As COO, he will oversee Jennmar’s global operations.
“Michael brings valuable insights from his previous leadership and operational roles in the mining and manufacturing industries, and he has already had an immediate impact on Jennmar’s operations,” Tony Calandra, Jennmar CEO, said. “I’d like to thank Robert Wise for his dedicated service and extend our appreciation that he will continue to provide his valued expertise and support to Jennmar’s operations alongside Bruce Johnson, Senior Vice President of Operations. Looking ahead, Jennmar remains committed to new ideas and new ways of working, including implementing our new JMOS LEAN operating system, which Michael will help lead.”
Portwood succeeds Robert Wise. Wise will continue to provide the company with operational expertise.
