Rail components and services provider A. Stucki Company (Stucki) on Oct. 24 reported that Jacob Creech is its new Chief Growth Officer, leading all commercial functions, including sales operations and customer engagement.
Creech joined Moon Township, Pa.-based Stucki earlier this year as Vice President of Sales. He served previously as Director of Locomotive and Railcar Leasing for Progress Rail, a Caterpillar Company. Before that he was a service engineer with Amsted Rail, a Chicago-based manufacturer of freight car components and other rail-related products. Creech holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business from Troy University in Troy, Ala.
“This is an internal succession that reflects both Jacob’s impact and the strength of talent we’re developing within our organization,” said Ron Port, who became Stucki CEO in 2024. “Jacob and his team will focus on building our customer partnerships and developing and converting our sales pipeline while ensuring alignment between operations and finance.”
Stucki, which provides engineered products, reconditioning and repair services, and maintenance of way services, operates more than a dozen companies, with 23 operating centers in the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. Earlier this month, it reported acquiring Wheelworx, a railcar wheelset reconditioning services supplier. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Stucki since 2022 has been owned by a group of investors led by Stellex Capital Management.
