Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (OMA) board member and former board chair Jeff Oravitz this week took the stage at the Adhesive and Sealant Council’s 2026 Executive Leadership Conference in Park City, Utah, sharing lessons from a career spent building, leading and growing manufacturing companies.

Oravitz, former CEO of Seal For Life Industries and MetoKote Corporation, joined ChemQuest Group Chairman Dan Murad for a featured fireside chat on buy-side mergers and acquisitions. The discussion focused on strategy, valuation, buy-and-build roll-up plays and the integration challenges that can make or break a deal.

“Jeff represents the best of Ohio manufacturing leadership,” said OMA President Ryan Augsburger. “He brings deep industry experience, strategic vision and a practical understanding of what it takes to build and grow successful companies. We are proud to have his leadership on the OMA board and proud to see him sharing that expertise with industry executives from across the country.” 6/17/2026
