Leeco Steel Names Dave Diemel Vice President of Operations

Leeco Steel, a supplier of steel plate in North America, has announced the promotion of Dave Diemel to Vice President of Operations and appointment to Leeco's executive management team, effective April 1, 2024.

Diemel has over 18 years of experience in operations management and lean manufacturing, serving most recently as Leeco's Senior Director of Operations.

"Dave's extensive experience in managing operations and applying lean manufacturing principles will be a significant asset to Leeco's next phase of growth," said Denton Nordhues, President and CEO of Leeco Steel. "We look forward to seeing how Dave's leadership will help expand Leeco's plate processing and distribution business divisions."

Diemel replaces outgoing Vice President of Operations Chad Schuh, who retired at the end of March. Schuh joined Leeco Steel as the Vice President of Operations in 2006, and played a vital role in expanding the company's footprint and commercial presence in North America and laying the groundwork for a successful model for expansion into new markets.

"Chad's contributions over the years cannot be overstated," Nordhues said. "I am quite certain Leeco would not be where it is today without his consistent leadership, strategic planning and his ability to motivate and develop a strong operations team."
