West Chester, Pennsylvania-based wire and cable products master distributor OmniCable recently announced that CEO Greg Lampert has retired after seven years with the company.

Current Vice chairman, Jeff Siegfried, assumed the role of interim CEO effective immediately, the company said. Siegfried co-founded OmniCable and previously served as CEO and Chairman.

“Greg has been a valued member of our OmniCable team, and he will be missed,” Siegfried said in a company news release. “He recently shared that he made this decision because he needs his focus to be on his family now after a 34-year career of heavy travel and unwavering commitment to the businesses and teams he has served. We are grateful for his leadership and the strategic direction he provided throughout his career at OmniCable that helped drive a lot of success for the company.”

Mt. Sterling, Illinois-based Dot Family Holdings (DFH), the investment office of the Tracy Family, owns and operators Dot Foods, Inc., a large North American food industry redistributor. DFH acquired OmniCable in 2019, and Lampert became CEO shortly after.

“We are fortunate Jeff is willing to step in and serve as OmniCable’s interim CEO,” said Joe Tracy, CEO of Dot Family Holdings. “No one knows OmniCable like Jeff does, and his deep history with the business and leadership will make sure this is a smooth transition for employees, customers, and business partners as we begin the search for our next CEO. DFH knows the future is bright for OmniCable. The company is coming off a banner 2022, the most successful year in its history. And while OmniCable faces the same challenges as everyone else in the industry, we have some exciting initiatives in the works that we look forward to sharing publicly very soon.”

In addition to OmniCable, other DFH companies include Houston Wire and Cable, Grabber Construction Products, Reliable Parts, and Pet Food Experts.
