In this newly created dual role, Knockaert will oversee operations in both regions, combining his new responsibilities with his current assignment for the U.S. locations in Monroe, OH, and Fernley, NV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJoren\u2019s savvy business acumen, thoughtful leadership approach, and demonstrated success in North America makes him the right leader for our Latin American arm of the business,\u201d said Bruno Humblet, CEO of the Deceuninck Group. \u201cWe are excited about the future of both regions and the continued growth of Deceuninck as a worldwide leader in high-performance window and door manufacturing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deceuninck Latin America has production facilities in Chile and Colombia and sites in Mexico and Brazil. Deceuninck North America and Deceuninck Latin America will continue to operate as individual units with their own reporting and management teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Knockaert joined Deceuninck North America as president and CEO in August 2020. Since then, he has led the organization to a 30% increase in manufacturing capacity and has overseen a top-to-bottom renaissance of the company\u2019s recruitment, hiring, and retention efforts. Last month at GlassBuild America 2023 in Atlanta, GA, Joren oversaw the rollout of Deceuninck North America\u2019s latest innovation, ECLIPSE<\/a>. A black color-through PVC extrusion for windows and doors, ECLIPSE is designed to meet growing customer demand for dark-colored window and door profiles. ECLIPSE is expected to be available to customers in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
