(Photo courtesy of Amaco)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following a six-month transition period and the retirement of general manager Jeff MacDonald, Amaco Construction Equipment Inc. vice-president Jamie Armstrong has been appointed president.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Armstrong brings over a decade of leadership experience at Amaco, having joined the company in 2012. He has played a pivotal role in driving modernization initiatives, including the development of the company\u2019s refreshed brand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI am honoured to assume the role of president, and to carry forward the strong legacy established by Jeff and James MacDonald,\u201d he stated. \u201cTheir vision, integrity, and commitment to performance have shaped Amaco into the trusted partner it is today. I look forward to leading our exceptional team as we continue to deliver value for our customers and partners across Ontario.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeff MacDonald started at Amaco in 1987. He started his career as a civil engineer before joining the business his father, James MacDonald, founded in 1983. Originally a sales representative serving Southwestern Ontario, he moved onto progressively senior roles, eventually acquiring the company in 2010 and continuing to build on its legacy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt has been a privilege to lead Amaco and serve our valued customers, employees, and manufacturing partners for nearly four decades,\u201d said Jeff MacDonald. \u201cI am immensely proud of what we have accomplished together and remain confident in the company\u2019s future under Jamie\u2019s leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Amaco name originated from its founding partners: Ambler, MacDonald and Courtney. Based in Mississauga, the dealership provides a wide range of new and used heavy equipment leasing, renting, parts, service and sales options to serve the needs of the Ontario construction market. In 2023, the company became part of Chadwick-BaRoss (Ontario) Ltd.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWith Jamie Armstrong stepping into the role of president, Amaco is well positioned for continued growth and innovation,\u201d said Yedidia Koschitzky, chairman of the Amaco board of directors. \u201cJamie has earned the trust of our partners and team through his leadership and forward-thinking approach. We thank Jeff MacDonald for building a company grounded in integrity, service, and strong relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amacocei.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.amacocei.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n\t  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=761779333850340&version=v2.0\";\n\t  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on-sitemag.com\/construction\/armstrong-to-lead-heavy-equipment-dealer-amaco\/1003985561\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This article was originally posted at Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] With the retirement of Jeff MacDonald, Jamie Armstrong has assumed the role of president at Ontario-based heavy equipment dealer &#8230; <a title=\"Armstrong to lead heavy equipment dealer Amaco\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/armstrong-to-lead-heavy-equipment-dealer-amaco\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Armstrong to lead heavy equipment dealer Amaco\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1085],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-onsite-magazine","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31249\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
