Jake now oversees daily operations for both FRC Global and its subsidiary, Alltherm, ensuring efficient commercial and manufacturing processes and the timely delivery of high-quality products.
“Jake’s leadership is what we’ve needed to take FRC Global and Alltherm to the next level,” said Julie Lord, president of FRC Global. “His deep understanding of manufacturing and commitment to quality align perfectly with Alltherm’s legacy and future.”
