Ft Lauderdale, August 25, 2025 — Allied Steel Buildings, a leading manufacturer of Pre-engineered Metal Buildings and Customized Hybrid Steel Structures, is excited to announce the appointment of Francisco Aguiar as Chief Financial Officer. With more than 25 years of global finance and operational leadership that spans across manufacturing, consumer goods, and life sciences sectors, Mr. Aguiar brings a strategic and results-driven approach to his new role.
Prior to Allied, Mr. Aguiar worked extensively across the Americas, Europe, and Asia with multinational Fortune 500 companies including Milwaukee Electric Tool, Kellogg Company, Whirlpool Corporation, and Megger. Experienced in guiding companies through transformational growth, mergers and acquisitions, and rapid scaling, Mr. Aguiar’s expertise lies in optimizing costs, streamlining operations, and implementing scalable financial systems that support sustainable domestic and international expansion.
At Allied, Mr. Aguiar will lead financial initiatives, while working closely with operation teams to identify and implement expansion opportunities. He looks forward to building new avenues for collaboration between Allied’s operational teams to maximize efficiencies, support investments in advanced manufacturing equipment and infrastructure, and ultimately accelerate growth.
Allied’s exponential growth over the last decade, its international footprint, and its culture of innovation are some of the first things that come to mind when he thinks of the company. What’s more, is the number of close personal ties that he has to Allied’s key markets—his hometown lies just 50 miles from Allied’s manufacturing site in La Coruna, Spain, and he has spent much of his life within 70 miles of the company’s Texas facility. Additionally, his strong connections to Panama and South Florida complement Allied’s operational presence in those regions.
“What truly drew me to Allied was its innovative approach to business and its strong drive to redefine the steel building industry. This company consistently pushes boundaries through the use of technology, bold thinking, and a clear vision for the future. At Allied, innovation is embedded in the culture and driven by the unwavering commitment of its people. It is truly invigorating to be part of such a dynamic team and to collaborate with visionary leaders across all departments. I am inspired by the opportunity to help lead Allied into its next phase of global growth, while also shaping the future of steel fabrication.”
In his spare time, Mr. Aguiar enjoys paddle boarding, jet skiing, motorcycles, hiking, and other outdoor activities that reflect his spirit for exploration and adventure. His appointment as CFO underscores Allied Steel Buildings’ commitment to strategic financial leadership that drives growth and operational excellence across its global operations.
