Jorgensen Names New President, CEO

Jorgensen Conveyors and Filtration Solutions has named Chuck D’Amico as its new president and CEO. A third-generation owner and grandson of the company's founders, D'Amico has served Jorgensen for 26 years as manufacturing manager, vice president of manufacturing and director of operations.

His new role will focus on ensuring that customers’ needs are met with the right solution. Krueger has spent his entire 15-year career at Jorgensen, most recently as engineering lead and product development engineer. He has advanced his capabilities, earning an associate’s degree with honors in electronic engineering technology and rising through the ranks to hold design responsibilities for all of Jorgensen's product lines.
