We are very pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Kevin Schloemann to the position of President of O’Fallon Casting, effective April 25, 2022. Kevin comes to O’Fallon Casting from Watlow Electric Manufacturing, a family-owned business in St. Louis where he was the VP and GM of Energy and Environmental Technologies. Working with the third-generation owner, Kevin implemented lean techniques and built the commercial strategy for the business. He drove a product simplification process that greatly reduced manufacturing complexity. Prior to that he was a division controller at Maverick Tube Corporation and at GKN Aerospace Inc. As President of O’Fallon, Kevin will be responsible for leading and developing the business to ensure profitable, sustainable growth while continuing our history of delivering the highest quality castings to our customers. Working closely with the existing senior leadership team, Kevin will develop and deploy a strategy that will enable O’Fallon to grow its leadership position in the market and continue to embody casting excellence. Vince Gimeno, the current General Manager at O’Fallon Casting, will work closely with Kevin over the next year to help him learn the intricacies of the investment casting process. Vince will stay on in his current role until he retires.
