Management Change Announced for Monogram Aerospace Fasteners
Brian McGuire
TriMas Corp. announced that Monogram Aerospace Fasteners president Brian McGuire will retire his post on March 31, 2012. He will continue to function as president of NI Industries until July 1, at which time he’ll relinquish those leadership duties as well. McGuire will remain a part of the Monogram team focused on several key projects.
McGuire will be replaced by Monogram COO David Adler, who will take over as head of TriMas’ Aerospace and Defense business segment, which includes NI Industries. Adler will report directly to TriMas CEO David Wathen.
“We thank Brian for his leadership and guidance over several TriMas businesses during the last 10 years,” Wathen stated. “We are fortunate he is staying with us to oversee other projects.”
Wathen noted that Adler’s “extensive career experience and leadership will enable him to lead one of our top growth platforms into the future.”
McGuire was appointed to his current role in 2008 after spending seven years as president of Norris Cylinder, also a TriMas business.
Adler was hired as Monogram’s chief operating officer in January 2011. He has more than 30 years experience in the aerospace and automotive industries. Prior to joining Monogram, Adler served as the general manager of Beacon Industries, a supplier of precision aerospace machining, where he was responsible for all aspects of the business, including strategic planning, development and execution, and operational performance. During his time there, he expanded the company’s global footprint, cut lead time by more than half, significantly decreased inventory on hand and increased operating profit to three to four times that of industry peers.
Adler holds a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management from Purdue University.
Monogram manufactures permanent blind bolts, screws and temporary fasteners used in commercial, business and military aircraft construction and assembly.
