Strategic appointment to drive future growth

AECO Corp has announced the promotion of Maryann Remner to President, effective immediately. In this role, she will provide leadership across the organisation and its three operating subsidiaries, supporting continued growth and operational performance.

Maryann has been part of AECO for nearly seven years, initially joining as Vice President of Sales & Marketing. During this time, she strengthened customer engagement, expanded the company’s market presence, and delivered sustained commercial growth. She was later promoted to Chief Operating Officer, where she assumed broader responsibility across AECO’s operating companies and played a key role in improving operational effectiveness and organisational alignment.

As President, Maryann will oversee AECO’s three operating businesses: Alloy Engineering in Berea, Ohio, which specialises in custom metal fabrications for high-temperature and corrosive environments; Mach3 Machining in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, providing large-diameter turning and precision machining services; and Thermcraft in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a manufacturer of industrial thermal-processing equipment including furnaces and ovens.

“I’m honoured to lead AECO and its exceptional team into the future,” said Maryann Remner. “As an ESOP company, our success is shared by every employee-owner, and I’m committed to upholding the values that make AECO unique. Together, we’ll continue to deliver innovative solutions, strengthen customer partnerships, and create opportunities that benefit both our customers and our people.”

Lee Watson will continue in his role as Chief Executive Officer through 2027. Following his retirement, he plans to remain actively involved with AECO as a member of the Board of Directors.
