THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK 153
SPIROL International
Holding Corporation Board
of Directors announces the
unanimous decision to appoint
Jeffrey F. Koehl as Chairman of
SPIROL International Holding
Corporation.
Jeff joined the company in
1997, and has been serving
as Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of SPIROL
International Corporation
since his appointment in
2010.
Jeff succeeds his father,
Hans H. Koehl, who passed
away on November 30, 2023.
Hans’ vision, dedication,
and passion led to the
transformation of SPIROL
from being a small, familyowned
business in Northeast
Connecticut into a worldrenowned
manufacturing
company with locations
on 4 continents and in 13
countries. It is impossible to
put into words the unparralled
contributions that Hans made
to SPIROL over the last 64
years – most importantly
the education, coaching and
mentoring of his son, Jeff, in
preparation for him to be his
successor.
While succeeding his
father as Chairman is no
insignificant task, Jeff is
uniquely qualified for the position.
As stated by Peter von Conta, Non-
Executive Director of SPIROL and
grandson of co-founder Walther G.
von Conta, “As both a Shareholder
and Director, I feel we are extremely
fortunate to have planned for this
natural succession and seamless
transition to the Chairmanship.
Jeff earned his bachelor’s
degree in biomedical engineering
from Brown University, and his
MBA from Boston College. He has
over 26 years of experience at
SPIROL and has held a number
of leadership positions prior to
being appointed Chairman and
CEO of SPIROL International Corp.
Under Jeff’s direction, SPIROL has
achieved profound success and
growth including the establishment
of numerous wholly-owned
subsidiaries as well as the recent
acquisition of Ford Aerospace in
South Shields, England.
Given his proven accomplishments
and his demonstrated capacity to
skillfully lead the company through
numerous unprecedented and
extraordinary challenges, Jeff has the
complete faith of the shareholders
and support of the Board of Directors.
Peter von Conta avowed, “As we
embark on an increasingly complex
period of industry transformation,
Jeff is uniquely equipped to lead
us through this pivotal era. We are
excited about the future of SPIROL
and look forward to the Company’s
next chapter under Jeff’s strategic
leadership as Chairman of the
Board.”
