Steve is a proven leader who we are confident can leverage Ducommun's capabilities and deliver higher returns for our shareholders."

With a talented and experienced workforce, new technologies coming online in 2017 and significant manufacturing capabilities that differentiate us from the competition, I believe the future is bright at Ducommun."
