Jack Allen Named Chairman of American Intermodal Container Manufacturing
American Intermodal Container Manufacturing has named former Navistar Inc. executive Jack Allen as its chairman, the company said March 24.
AICM also appointed Patrick Marron as the group’s CEO. Allen was with Navistar from 1981 until he retired as the truck and engine maker’s chief operating officer in November.
“Jack brings an enormous amount of talent and energy to the AICM team,” said John Maguire, AICM’s founder and managing board member. “His extensive experience and proven leadership in the commercial trucking industry is an immediate game changer for our company’s entrance into the domestic container market.”
AICM has an “excellent leadership team and business plan that will position us as a strong U.S. manufacturing company,” Allen said in a statement.
Marron joins AICM with more than 30 years of executive experience, most recently as COO at Four Seasons, a division of Latium USA, an international metal products manufacturing, distribution and installation company.
AICM is a privately owned company formed to provide the North American market with 53-foot domestic shipping containers and similar transportation products.
It said it is “in negotiations with a major industry manufacturer to establish operations within the United States” and that it expects to make a formal announcement in the coming weeks.
