Kurt Tolliver New President and CEO of Amada Weld Tech

Amada Weld Tech, a manufacturer of welding, marking, cutting, sealing and bonding equipment and systems, is  announced that Kurt Tolliver has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer effective April 1, 2026, succeeding Dave Fawcett. In conjunction with this change, Fawcett has been named the European CEO for the broader Amada Group, where he will focus on driving the company’s expanding business and new regional headquarters structure across Europe.

Tolliver leverages nearly three decades of experience with Amada Weld Tech, having joined the company in 1997 as Regional Sales Manager in the South. He subsequently took on increasing responsibility managing sales in Europe, Mexico and Central America, giving him deep insight into the company’s global customer base and regional market dynamics. In 2018, Tolliver was promoted to Vice President of Sales and, in 2024, to Executive Vice President, positions in which he played a central role in shaping commercial strategy, strengthening channel partnerships and supporting the development and launch of new welding, micromachining and process monitoring solutions. Most recently serving as Chief Operating Officer, Tolliver has worked closely with the leadership team to align sales, operations and customer support. In his new role as President and CEO, he will oversee all aspects of the business, including strategy and product roadmap alignment with Amada Group business units, supporting operational excellence and customer engagement across key markets such as automotive, medical device, electronics and general industrial manufacturing.
