New group to expand the company's service, parts and maintenance offerings

ARLINGTON, Texas, May 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kinley Corporation announced today the launch of Kinley Services, a new group that will serve as the parent organization of their recently launched division, Kinley Advanced Technical Services (KATS). The company has appointed industry veteran Michael Riggs as President of Kinley Services Group.

Riggs, who will be based in Tulsa, Okla., was most recently Vice President of Operations for industrial provider Geon Performance Solutions. He also brings deep leadership experience in quality, operations and safety at T.D. Williamson, Dresser-Rand and Pratt & Whitney.

Kinley Services Group will include the company's current rotating equipment service, parts and maintenance business offered through KATS, in addition to a new Industrial Services, Parts, Operations and Maintenance and Digital Technologies division.

"I'm excited to join a fantastic organization and leadership team," said Michael Riggs. "What attracted me to the role was both the people and the Kinley legacy and culture. I look forward to providing our customers innovative solutions combined with a 'Kinley Way' service experience that builds relationships and honors our over 125-year legacy."

The launch of the new Services Group was driven by Kinley's desire to provide customers with an enhanced, broader, and more comprehensive industrial service offering that extends Kinley's presence at customer sites beyond project completion.

"Having a leader with Mike's experience and background is incredible for both our customer base and Kinley as a whole," said Jimmy Kinley, CEO of Kinley Construction.
