Qualtek Board Appoints Chris Fagnant VP of Business Development

Qualtek Manufacturing Board of Directors promoted Christopher Fagnant to Vice President of Business Development during its December meeting. Fagnant’s new role will expand Qualtek’s vertically integrated metal manufacturing work with aerospace and medical device developers and extend its presence among renewable energy generation and storage and apparel hardware manufacturers.
 
Christopher Fagnant joined Qualtek in 2011 as Director of E with the goal of integrating sustainable environmental processes throughout the company operations so the role would not be needed. Fagnant accomplished that goal by leading development of an Environmental Management System (EMS) that is being integrated with their Quality Management System and is a precursor to becoming ISO14001 certified.   He founded the E-Team and directed projects such as solar panel installation, alternative energy purchases, and significantly reduced energy and water consumption.
 
“As a third generation manufacturer, I understand the challenges of making great products in the U.S.,” stated Fagnant. “My new job is to help those who need high quality metal parts know how Qualtek delivers efficiently, cost-effectively and collaboratively.   We have a great time developing partnerships with our clients.”
