T E C Industrial announces the promotion of current CFO John Sacht to the Position of President & CEO who will succeed Greg Boehling as he transitions to full retirement at the end of 2025. In his new role, John will assume overall responsibility for the performance of T E C Industrial and will lead the Company as it continues its role to provide world class construction, maintenance and operations support services in the complex process, power, pulp and paper and advanced manufacturing sectors.
Previously as the Company’s CFO, John was responsible for all financial and risk management operations at T E C Industrial as well as various support departments including accounting, human resources, and information technology. Prior to joining T E C Industrial in 2014, he served in a variety of key financial and operational positions ranging from Corporate Controller up to Division President in a multi-billion-dollar Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Site Services, and Maintenance Corporation. In addition to his role as CFO, John monitored and directed the implementation of T E C Industrial’s strategic business plan and helped to implement operations best practices. John holds both Undergraduate and Graduate Business Degrees from Augusta State and Queens Universities, respectively.
Reporting directly to Sacht will be COO Tony Calderone, VP of Business Development Tucker Maloney, and Controller Julie Neely.
Greg Boehling will begin a transition to full retirement following a distinguished 37-year career in the Engineering and Construction Industry. During his tenure, he advanced within the structures of some of the largest EPC firms in the country and ultimately lead the acquisition of T E C Industrial Maintenance and Construction (formerly known as Tennessee Electric Company) in 2007. Over the past 18 years he led the company’s growth from a single discipline electrical contractor to a full service, self-perform construction, maintenance and operations support services company that has a world class safety record having achieved over 22 million consecutive safe work hours and multiple Tennessee Governor’s Awards for Workplace Safety. He has also been very active in the local community supporting the United Way of Greater Kingsport among other philanthropic organizations, and in 2016 was selected for the Junior Achievement of Tri-Cities Business Hall of Fame. Greg will continue to provide consulting support to T E C Industrial and its strategic clients prior to entering full retirement at the end of 2025. He and his wife Dana will continue to reside in the Tri-Cities area and look forward to an active retirement in the future.
According to Boehling, “I congratulate John on his promotion. He joined us 12 years ago and was instrumental in helping us grow as an organization, as well as facilitating our smooth integration into the Comfort Systems USA Family following our merger in 2020. He has been an invaluable asset to T E C Industrial throughout his tenure, and I am personally grateful for his contributions and friendship throughout his time here. The leadership structure at the company going forward is highly committed, talented, and experienced and I couldn’t be any more enthusiastic about the organization’s strategic platform and incredible future going forward. That being said, I will greatly miss my daily interaction with our incredible team of talented people but look forward to continuing to be a resource in support of John, our team and our strategic customers as I transition into full retirement.
According to Sacht: “I am extremely grateful and excited for this opportunity to take over the reigns from Greg. We have worked together for a very long time even preceding our tenure together at T E C Industrial, so he will be missed. Working with Tony Calderone , Tucker Maloney, and Julie (Neely), as well as all our other talented people here, I could not be more optimistic going forward as we implement our operational and growth plans while focusing on our core values of Safety, Integrity, and Performance. I join everyone at T E C Industrial wishing Greg and his family all the best for a well-deserved retirement!”
