On behalf of the Board and the entire CECO team, we look forward to Todd's leadership," commented CECO's Chairman, Jason DeZwirek.

Mr. DeZwirek continued, "We want to thank Dennis for his dedication and integrity during his time at CECO, both as CEO and as a member of the Board. CECO is much stronger and in a better financial position due to Dennis' steady hand and operational leadership. Dennis was instrumental in CECO significantly reducing its debt, strengthening its leadership team and implementing strong processes and overall operational rigor. The entire CECO family extends their thanks to Dennis."

"I am very excited to be joining CECO as its CEO," said Mr. Gleason.  "I believe CECO has a strong foundation with respect to people, products, technologies and global reach and is well-positioned to capitalize on the opportunities ahead of us. I look forward to working with the entire team on our strategy and delivering world-class results."

Dennis Sadlowski said, "I am privileged to have worked with such an incredible team and I am very proud of what we achieved together at CECO during my time as CEO. The company is well positioned for the future and I am committed to supporting a smooth transition for the benefit of all our stakeholders."

In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gleason will replace Mr. Sadlowski as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Sadlowski will remain as an advisor to the Company through the end of 2020 to assist in the transition.
