Alan Toot, who joined Oatey this year as director of mechanical engineering, will now oversee the company's engineering organization and product development strategy.
Oatey Co. promoted Alan Toot to vice president of engineering, giving him oversight of the company's engineering organization and product development strategy. Toot had joined the Cleveland-based plumbing products manufacturer earlier this year as director of mechanical engineering.
In that role, he accelerated new product development across mechanical categories, improved engineering processes and sped up delivery of product enhancements, the company said. Toot will now define the engineering organization's strategic direction, focused on products that align with market demand and Oatey's long-term business objectives.
"I'm proud to lead Oatey's Engineering organization and work alongside a team whose technical expertise, collaboration and customer focus uphold the trusted reputation Oatey has earned over generations," Toot said in a statement. "As we look ahead, we will continue building on that legacy by developing solutions that strengthen our product portfolio, address evolving customer needs and continue reflecting Oatey's longstanding commitment to quality and reliability."
Scott Voisinet, Oatey's executive vice president and chief operating officer, called Toot a proven leader who brings clarity to complex initiatives. "In a short time, he has brought valuable perspective and momentum to the business," Voisinet said.
Oatey has supplied plumbing products for residential and commercial construction since 1916. The company operates manufacturing and distribution facilities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, China and Europe.
