Goose Creek, South Carolina-based JW Aluminum has announced the appointment of Philip J. Cavatoni as chief financial officer (CFO), effective immediately.
“We’re excited to welcome Philip to the JW Aluminum team,” says Lee McCarter, JW Aluminum’s CEO. “Philip brings extensive financial, operational and strategic experience, which will be a great asset to JW as we execute on our expansion plans and enter a new phase of JW’s growth.”
Cavatoni had formerly served as CFO with SixAxis LLC, a maker of safety products and equipment. He succeeds Rich Caruso, who had served as JW’s CFO since 2017. Caruso will be joining JW’s board of directors. “We’re very grateful to Rich for his expertise and valuable contributions to our company, and look forward to continuing our relationship with him as a member of our board of directors,” says McCarter.
JW Aluminum makes flat-rolled aluminum products at plants in Goose Creek, South Carolina; Russellville, Arkansas; St. Louis, Missouri and Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The company melts aluminum scrap as a raw material, and in 2013 announced a supply agreement with the Cincinnati-based David J. Joseph Co.
