MW Components Names Thomas A. Amato Chairman and CEO

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MW Components today announced that Thomas A. Amato has been appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MW Components ("MW" or the "Company"), effective immediately, succeeding Simon Newman, who has stepped down from these positions.

Mr. Amato most recently served as President & Chief Executive Officer of TriMas Corporation, a $1 billion company with global facilities serving the aerospace, consumer goods, and industrial markets, from July 2016 through June 2025. While at TriMas, Mr. Amato, through the use of strategic acquisitions and key divestitures, and operating in a culture of kaizen, unlocked value by transforming the company from a broad-based industrial manufacturer to a company focused predominantly in two platforms, Aerospace and Packaging. Prior to his time at TriMas, Mr. Amato served as Chief Executive Officer of Metaldyne, LLC and subsequently as Co-President of Metaldyne Performance Group, which American Securities took public in 2014 and subsequently sold to American Axle in 2017. Mr. Amato also currently serves as a Director and Chair of the Compensation Committee at AMETEK.

"I am excited to join MW and continue my long association with American Securities. MW has a strong portfolio of products and brands, and I look forward to partnering with the existing MW team to continue improving and growing the business," said Amato.

Michael Fisch, Founder and CEO of American Securities, stated, "Tom is a proven leader and team builder who we have known for more than a decade. Our experience working with him at Metaldyne was outstanding, and we are excited to partner with him again. We look forward to building on MW's momentum under Tom's leadership."
