Speedgrip Chuck Company Announces New Leadership

Speedgrip Chuck Company has appointed Matthew Mayer as the president of the company. Mayer is said to have three decades of professional experience in the manufacturing industry, including executive leadership roles. Selected for his knowledge of OEM workholding operations, sales, machining and assembly of machine tool products, Mayer is leveraging his expertise to expand Speedgrip’s position in the market.

“Speedgrip’s brand has and always will be tied to master craftsmanship, trust and reliability,” Mayer says. “I am leading the company with a clear vision for the future that includes carrying on the company’s manufacturing legacy while also developing new products for advanced manufacturing and automation applications.”

The timing of Mayer’s appointment coincided with the addition of Mark Leeser as general manager. Leeser is said to have over two decades of experience in the industry, gaining combined skills of talent acquisition, rate of return on capital investments and effective operational planning. At Speedgrip, Leeser is credited with strengthening the production team through best hiring practices and the implementation of new production procedures for improved quality and efficiencies.

In conjunction with Speedgrip’s growth plan, Mayer bolstered the company’s executive management team with the addition of Jon Feldman as chief financial officer. Having served as controller for the company for seven years, Feldman brings fiduciary and manufacturing knowledge to the company’s C-suite.

“With Jon and Mark on my executive management team, I brought financial acumen, analytic problem-solvers and servant leadership to Speedgrip’s decision-making table,” Mayer explains. “Together, we all are keenly in tune with our business, customers, people and the vast potential Speedgrip can reach.”
