Duro-Last, a member of the Amrize family of brands and a leading manufacturer of custom-fabricated single-ply roofing systems, announced the Oct. 1 retirement of Steve Ruth, senior vice president of sales and marketing, along with the promotion of two veteran sales leaders and the addition of an experienced executive to its leadership team.
Ruth joined Duro-Last in June 1986, starting on the production floor before moving into sales, one of only four sales employees at the time. Over the next 39 years, he played a pivotal role in building the company’s sales structure, strategies and customer relationships, helping Duro-Last become a defining force in the single-ply roofing industry.
“Steve has been a cornerstone to the Duro-Last business for almost 40 years,” said Jason Dark, vice president of commercial operations. “His leadership, vision and steady hand have been central to Duro-Last’s growth and success. We are so grateful for the years he has dedicated to leading our team and mentoring so many of us along the way. While we will surely miss his levelheaded presence, we wish him so much happiness in his retirement and thank him for preparing us for the next exciting chapter of the Duro-Last business.”
Alongside Ruth’s retirement, Duro-Last announced key leadership appointments across its sales operation. Troy Jenison has been promoted to vice president of sales for the West and Mike Jenkins has been promoted to vice president of sales for the South. Joining the company as vice president of sales for the East, Antoine Ségéral brings more than 16 years of experience in manufacturing and sales leadership.
“Troy and Mike have been part of the Duro-Last family for years. They’ve earned trust across the business and industry,” said Dark. “They know our customers, they know our culture and they’ve grown through the challenges and successes that brought us to where we are today. Additionally, adding Antoine brings a fresh perspective that will be instrumental in our strategic growth initiatives. This is an exciting step for our team and the future of the Duro-Last brand.”
Jenison has been with Duro-Last for 11 years, serving as regional sales manager and district sales manager for the Pacific Rim region before most recently leading as director of sales for the Western Division.
Jenkins, a 25-year veteran of the company, began his career as a quality assurance technical representative in Tennessee. He later served as a manufacturer’s sales representative for Louisiana and most recently as regional sales manager for the Atlantic region.
Ségéral joins Duro-Last from Continental AG, where he held multiple senior leadership roles including head of region Americas and head of market business unit within the ContiTech Surface Solutions division. He brings deep expertise in strategic leadership, business development and international sales. Segeral holds degrees in business and international marketing from the ARCA Institute in Paris.
