“Dale Jones has been a cornerstone of the Timpte, Inc. organization for the past 16 years. His dedication, hard work, and leadership have been instrumental. From doubling trailer production to being at the forefront of multiple expansions in the company, he has invested his career in the development of the future of Timpte. We are truly grateful for his contributions, and he leaves behind a lasting legacy that will be remembered for years to come,” said Tim Carpenter, incoming President & CEO of Timpte, Inc.
Carpenter is a native to Nebraska, growing up just north of Timpte’s David City headquarters in Columbus, Nebraska, and is a graduate from University of Nebraska (UNL). During his time at UNL, Tim was part of the 1994, 1995, and 1997 National Championship Husker football team.
Tim brings with him several years of leadership experience, particularly in Operations. His most recent position was Chief Operating Officer at Lincoln Industries, where he held full P&L responsibilities for plants located in Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Mexico. Tim played a key role in integrating new acquisitions into the Lincoln Industries culture, and he developed operational strategies supporting growth and profitability on a site-by-site basis.
Prior to his time at Lincoln Industries, Tim held various leadership roles at Pella Corporation, further enhancing his expertise in organizational management and strategic leadership.
Jones will continue his active role on the Timpte Board of Directors, and the day-to-day management of Timpte’s subsidiary company, Thunderstone Manufacturing, located in Lincoln, Nebraska, while overseeing the development of the new Lincoln Manufacturing Facility scheduled to open in early 2025.
