Alpharetta, Ga. – October 01, 2026 -- Kawneer Company, Inc. has appointed Kate Anderson as Chief Executive Officer and Timothy Montz as Chief Financial Officer, marking a critical step in the architectural aluminum manufacturer's transition to an independent operating company under continued ownership by funds managed by Apollo.

The leadership overhaul is tied to a transition process expected to span the next year, with Kawneer becoming a standalone operating entity by 2027 while remaining under the ownership of the Apollo Funds. The company is building out a fully independent operating system to support the shift, including a dedicated team structure aimed at customer support and long-term growth.
