“Stephen’s experience working across a range of small and large companies, combined with capabilities in areas such as lean and ITW’s 80/20 process, make him a great fit for leading our recently acquired Norfab-Amatex business,” said Mauricio Zavatti, Davlyn Group CEO. “I also want to recognize John and Tom Weber, Dick Howard, and the rest of the Norfab-Amatex leadership team for all of their support during our integration process, and look forward to the company’s next phase of growth.”

“I am excited to join Davlyn Group’s leadership team,” commented Tang. “Norfab-Amatex’s customer-centric culture, best-in-class manufacturing capabilities, and history of innovation within the thermal protection and personal protective equipment (PPE) segments provide a solid foundation for growth.”
