Webb will be new CEO of DeltaHawk
Racine-based DeltaHawk Engines Inc. has named Dennis Webb as its new chief executive officer.
Webb, who has been with DeltaHawk since 2005, will take over for Diane Doers, who will continue serving in an advisory role with the board of directors.
Founded in 1996, DeltaHawk is a manufacturer of lightweight, fuel-efficient engines for the commercial and general aviation industry. As it expands operations and ramps up manufacturing, DeltaHawk expects to create more than 100 jobs over the next three years.
The news of Webb assuming the role of CEO comes on the heels of a series of positive announcements for the company, including securing additional funding and support from state and local government and a move to a new production facility.
“DeltaHawk is doing a great job generating the momentum they need to help launch their engine,” said Racine Mayor John Dickert. “Dennis Webb and his team of experienced leaders are going to be exciting to work with as they grow this company and bring more than 100 new jobs to Racine.”
Before joining DeltaHawk, Webb held a number of management positions with companies such as Modine Manufacturing Co., Liebert Corp. and Johnson Controls Inc.
