Arning Companies expands leadership team

Arning Companies started in 1983, with a handful of employees, as an awning and canopy company.

Through the decades, hard work and dedication has brought the company to a new era of manufacturing. Not just a canopy company, Arning has grown to be a leader and a game-changer in the Petroleum and Quick Serve Restaurant industries.

Since 2020, Arning has added modular construction, construction management and research development divisions within the company. Arning has grown to a combined 230,000 square feet of state-of-theart manufacturing space. This includes the headquarters in Cassville, as well as a newly purchased facility in Clarksville, Ark.

“Our greatest asset is our people and their ability to dream big,” said Ryan Stockton, Arning’s Chief Executive Officer. “You can’t get to where we are today without the right people in place. With that, it is an honor to announce our new leadership team. We have added Vice President level positions and have expanded our Director level positions.”

Vice Presidents are as follows: Cliff Cyr, finance; Angie Edie, human resources; Buzz Treadwell, operations; Gavin Chapman, national accounts; and Donn Kaebisch, business development.

Directors: Aaron Brooks, sales; Josh Coberley, research and development; Mark Speakman, manufacturing; Dale Larson, construction services; and Larry Mankins, technology.

“Growth isn’t always comfortable,” Stockton said. “I am proud of all our team members and their desire to be a part of Arning’s vision. It’s an exciting time to be a part of the A Team.”
