Roberts succeeds Kirk Aubry, whose retirement was announced in June 2024. Roberts now will serve as president and CEO and as a member of the board of directors for the company.
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to lead such an amazing group of people, working together to provide world-class service for customers across all of our businesses,” said Roberts. “We’ll continue building relationships and growing the company according to the Vision and Legacy established by our founders.”
“Jeff is the right person to lead Savage into the future, with his appreciation for the culture that has made the company successful over generations, passion for finding innovative solutions, and strong commitment to safety and continuous improvement,” said Savage Chairman of the Board Don Stebbins.
