LONGUEUIL, Que. – Heroux-Devtek Inc. says CEO Gilles Labbe will become executive chairman of the aerospace company’s board of directors and he’ll be succeeded as president and chief executive by Martin Brassard

The aircraft parts company says the changes will be effective on June 1 as it enters a “new phase of growth.”

Brassard has worked for Heroux-Devtek for 25 years, and is currently an executive vice-president and the company’s chief operating officer.
