John Herring, CEO and founder of A-1 Industries, has announced the formation of A-1 Global Holdings, Inc., with 100% ownership of A-1 Industries of Florida, Inc., and A-1 Industries of Georgia, LLC, and the appointment of executives associated with A-1’s companies.
The company is headquartered in Fort Pierce.
A-1 Global Holdings will serve as the parent company for A-1’s Florida and Georgia operations and future bases of operation, the company said in a Dec. 29 statement. All A-1 operations will continue to focus on manufacturing pre–engineered wood trusses and EZWALL products, with the new structure giving executives greater flexibility to plan for A-1’s rapid expansion in existing and new products and services, which has seen 100 percent growth in the past three years.
The current A-1 executive team and management remain in place. Effective Jan. 1, 2023, Herring will be CEO and chairman of A-1 Global Holdings, and Jan S. Beck will serve as its president. Michael Ruede will serve as president of A-1 Industries of Florida and A-1 Industries of Georgia, continuing to provide operational oversight of those two manufacturing companies.
