Ontic, a leading licensor and manufacturer of complex engineered parts for the global aerospace and defense industries, has appointed Joshua Florio as General Manager for its Creedmoor site in North Carolina.
Florio will be responsible for the day-to-day running of its Ontic's Creedmoor site which specialises in new spares and the development of new original equipment for predominantly military and commercial customers. Ontic's Creedmoor site is also home to its Firstmark, Twin Commander and Aircraft Belts Inc. brands which support various electro-mechanical, seatbelt and spares for the military, civil and commercial aerospace markets.
Joining Ontic from AAR's Landing Gear Services business, Florio's experience in both original and non-core aerospace, and technical engineering as well as management and strategic positions, gives him the perfect foundation to lead the Creedmoor site through its growth journey. He has taken up his post on September 11, 2023.
Welcoming Joshua on his first day, Brian Sartain, Chief Operating Officer at Ontic, said: “Our customers expect the highest level of quality and delivery and Joshua's track record speaks for itself when it comes to optimising high-mix, low-volume environments so we're very excited to have him leading Creedmoor.”
Ontic's Creedmoor site has recently undergone major renovations, paving the way for growth at the Creedmoor site as Ontic looks to expand operations there.
