Hartzell Propeller has promoted JJ Frigge to president effective immediately. He assumes the role previously held by Joe Brown, who will become company Chairman, partnering with Frigge on the longer term elements of running the family owned business.
"Over the past several years, JJ has progressed to positions of ever greater responsibilities. Last year, he was promoted to EVP and General Manager where he provided strong leadership to the business and delivered excellent results." Brown said. "As President, JJ will be responsible for all operating elements of the business including development and execution of Hartzell Propeller's strategy while also assuming a more prominent role in the aviation community."

His individual integrity and leadership style fully represent our core value of "Built on Honor," Brown said. "We are confident in his talents and ability to take on this important leadership role."
