3A Composites Americas has named Leda Ochoa vice president of operations, and Kevin Fisher has been promoted from director of engineering & maintenance to plant manager at the Benton facility.
“Leda and Kevin are proven leaders who consistently deliver results while strengthening our culture of operational excellence,” said president & CEO Nick Scheib. “Their promotions reflect both their contributions to 3A Composites and the confidence we have in their ability to lead the organization forward.”
As vice president of operations, Ochoa will lead enterprise-wide operational strategy and performance initiatives across the company’s manufacturing network. All manufacturing plant managers report to her.
Ochoa brings more than 18 years of experience spanning operations, quality, supply chain, safety, and continuous improvement. Since joining 3A Composites in 2018, she has advanced through multiple leadership positions.
During her tenure as plant manager in Statesville, N.C., the site achieved significant safety, quality, and operational milestones, says 3A, including 1.5 million hours without a recordable incident and more than seven years without a lost-time incident.
Fisher played a key role in implementing a computerized maintenance management system across the company’s North American operations. In his new role as Benton plant manager, he will continue advancing operational performance, employee engagement, and a culture of continuous improvement.
