On track for continued business growth, Seco has appointed new members to its executive and management teams. David Mrdjenovic is the company’s new director of operations, and Scott Hecht now serves as market channels and business development manager.

Mrdjenovic joins Seco as a member of the executive staff, and his responsibilities include complete oversight of operations and the engineering group. He has 30 years of well-rounded manufacturing experience that includes both management of plant operations and full purchasing and logistics responsibility. Most recently, Mrdjenovic served as general manager for Exco Extrusion Dies. During his 13-year tenure at Exco, he also served as plant manager of plants located in Chesterfield, Michigan; Wylie, Texas; Medellin, Columbia; and Sorocaba, Brazil.

Hecht brings with him extensive experience as a Seco channel manager since 2014 – a role in which his responsibilities included the development of strategic programs with key suppliers. He also possesses strong and widespread operational and industry knowledge from past positions as a distribution manager and vice president of sales within the tooling industry prior to joining Seco. 

“Seco is pleased to welcome both gentlemen to their new positions,” said Rob Keenan, president of Seco Tools. “We are delighted to have them on the team and look forward to many key contributions that will make in operations and support of our channel strategies and increased business growth.”

A Detroit native, Mrdjenovic enjoys motor sports and spending time with his wife and two children. Hecht currently resides in Lake Orion, Michigan, with his wife and twin daughters.
