“Marec has consistently demonstrated his business acumen and leadership ability to the Board and me, giving us all a high degree of confidence in his ability to lead A. M.

His appointment builds-out our senior leadership team, as I continue to focus on our Company’s long-term strategic initiatives and relationships,” Scheinkman added.

“I am humbled by and appreciative of Steve’s and the Board’s confidence. We have assembled an extraordinary group of senior leaders in this Company and I look forward to continuing to work as a team to meet our ambitious goals. Equally importantly, what I have seen from our front-line teams in the last several years has been an unbreakable commitment to our core values: Service, Quality, Ownership, Integrity & Safety, and Inclusion. We will continue to focus on these core principles as our pathway to regaining the market leadership position Castle held for so many years,” Edgar commented.

Edgar joined Castle in 2014 as Vice President and General Counsel. He was promoted to Executive Vice President, General Counsel & Chief Administrative Officer in 2015.
