As part of a management reorganization, AFC-Holcroft has announced Tracy Dougherty and Ronald Waligora will share leadership responsibility as dual chief operating officers. Dougherty, formerly vice president of Sales, has been named chief operating officer in charge of Sales, Applications, Marketing and Aftermarket Sales, while Waligora, formerly senior engineering manager, has been named chief operating officer for Project Management, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Field Services. Both have spent many years working for the company and both are active in AFC-Holcroft’s professional membership organizations such as the Metal Treating Institute and ASM International.
