On May 7, 2018, Christopher Hughes joined Reyco Granning as the new VP of Finance.

“Christopher’s extensive experience in process generation and best practices that improve profitability and cost control is an asset to Reyco Granning. We will rely heavily on him as we continue to strengthen our organization as a customized suspension system solution provider for the industry,” said President John Stuart.

Hughes has 24 years’ experience in manufacturing, having begun his career in 1994 at Armstrong/Triangle Pacific Corp as an audit supervisor and rose to the position of Group Controller. Prior to joining Reyco Granning, Hughes has served as the CFO at Builders Firstsource as well as Reliant Worldwide Plastics. In addition, he was the Vice President of Operations for Smith System Manufacturing Company.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Missouri Southern and his CPA from the State of Missouri.

Christopher replaces Tracy Carll in this role as Tracy was promoted to her new position as VP of Supply Chain & IT. “Tracy has demonstrated cross-functional leadership and is particularly adept in contract negotiations and cost reduction efforts. She was the ideal candidate to lead our Supply Chain & IT groups,” said Stuart.

“We are fortunate to have Christopher and Tracy in these roles as we continuously improve our organization work daily to fulfill our mission to be a trusted, indispensable partner for suspension solutions,” said Stuart.
