Eric Roegner named President of Arconic Global Rolled Products

Arconic announced today that Eric Roegner, Chief Operating Officer of Investment Castings, Arconic Titanium and Engineered Products and President of Arconic Defense, has been named President of Arconic Global Rolled Products (GRP), effective immediately. Roegner continues as President of Arconic Defense. He succeeds Kay Meggers who is leaving Arconic effective June 2 to become a faculty member at the Gordon Ford College of Business at Western Kentucky University.

“Eric is the ideal leader to deliver on our strategic plan for the Global Rolled Products segment,” said David Hess, Interim Arconic Chief Executive Officer. “He is a highly qualified internal candidate with a solid operational track record, including the successful integration of RTI International Metals (RTI), which is now the Arconic Titanium and Engineered Products business unit. His strong customer relationships in the aerospace and defense sectors, and deep technology and engineering background, will help drive sustainable value for our customers and shareholders.”

Roegner joined Arconic—then Alcoa Inc.—in 2006 and has 11 years of experience in the aerospace, defense, automotive and other industrial markets, and 14 years of automotive and oil and gas experience gained prior to joining Arconic. Most recently, he led the successful integration of RTI, including the post-acquisition divestiture of RTI’s Remmele Medical business. RTI expanded the Company’s range of titanium offerings and added advanced technologies, including additive manufacturing capabilities. Under Roegner’s leadership, the RTI acquisition has outperformed expectations and is more than two years ahead of the business case in realizing synergies. In his most recent role, Roegner oversaw Arconic Power and Propulsion, a global leader in jet engine components, and Arconic Titanium and Engineered Products, a world-class producer of titanium products and an advanced manufacturing leader. He is co-inventor of the Ampliforge process, a hybrid technique that combines additive and advanced manufacturing processes.
