Seco Tools, Troy, Mich., has appointed Robert Keenan as the company’s new North American president. Keenan succeeds outgoing president Kurt Nordlund, who will return to Seco Tools AB in Sweden as a senior adviser on a global basis.

A planned transition, the company promoted Keenan from within the organization. In his new role, he works to continue an aggressive market share growth strategy while maintaining the company’s culture and core values.

Keenan, formerly the Canadian country manager and central zone manager, has more than 20 years of metal cutting industry experience. In addition to his extensive sales management experience within Seco, he previously owned and managed his own cutting tool distribution business.

“We have a great team at Seco, with employees who are completely dedicated to partnering with manufacturers to overcome the challenges they face in today’s market,” said Keenan. “Over the coming year, Seco will be introducing many innovative, game-changing products and digital applications that truly reflect that commitment, and I look forward to leading our organization into the future.”
