ALVARADO, Texas (May 14, 2024) – C&W DustTech, the market leader in dust collection systems for the Ready-Mix Concrete industry, is pleased to announce the promotion of Jeremy Rote to Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately. In his new role, Rote will continue to lead accounting, finance, human resources and IT functions for C&W and Superior Air Products while collaborating with executive team members to design and implement strategic planning initiatives and accelerate company growth.
Joining the organization in 2021 as vice president of finance, Rote immediately made an impact on performance through day-to-day financial management and operations, employee engagement initiatives, risk management and IT infrastructure. His impact will continue as Rote transitions to CFO, taking on even greater strategic oversight and direction. Partnering with President Bill Werra and COO/General Manager Steve Duncan, Rote will play a key role in strengthening internal alignment to serve core customers in Ready-Mix and Concrete while innovating solutions for Cement, Mining and Aggregates industries.
“Over the last three years, Jeremy has been all-in, proving his dedication to elevating C&W and Superior to be world-class organizations and positioning C&W, Superior, our team and customers for accelerated performance. This well-deserved promotion recognizes his contributions to both organizations,” said Werra. “Jeremy’s passion and willingness to challenge the status quo makes him a leader who truly embodies C&W’s ‘never settle’ attitude. His financial leadership strengthens our organization, enabling us to maximize the impact of our expertise across a range of applications and markets.”
As CFO, Rote will focus on further refining finance, accounting, HR and IT processes across functions to drive productivity, efficiency and engagement for both C&W DustTech and Superior Air Products. Rote will maintain his executive oversight role on C&W’s Employee Experience Committee, collaborating with employees to enhance their peers’ experience and bring the ‘Dust Settles. We Don’t.™’ commitment to life.
Duncan also expressed support for the promotion. “From the moment Jeremy joined the team, it felt like he’d always been with us. His financial expertise and process-oriented approach continues to position C&W for growth with even greater efficiency. What impresses me most is how Jeremy champions our people and a world-class work culture. His focus on fostering cross-functional collaboration earns respect from everyone and elevates the team. Jeremy is a proven leader and I’m excited to see what our collaboration can achieve in the future.”
“I am continually inspired by the individuals within our organization. My interactions with executive leadership, as well as the good-natured individuals across various departments, highlight the dedication and pride our team exhibits, which in turn fuels my motivation daily,” said Rote. “I take great pride in the advancements we have achieved thus far, yet I am even more enthusiastic about the prospects of significant growth that C&W and Superior can realize in concert with our customers.”
