NEW YORK — AZZ Inc. president and chief executive officer David Dingus will continue to serve in his role while undergoing aggressive treatment for pancreatic cancer, the company said.

"Mr. Dingus may have a reduced work schedule during certain periods of this treatment but he is not anticipated to be away for any extended periods of time," the Fort Worth, Texas-based galvanizing company said in a March 4 statement.

The company’s senior management team—Dana Perry, senior vice president of finance and chief financial officer; Ashok Kolady, senior vice president and chief operating officer of the electrical and industrial products segment; and Tim Pendley, senior vice president and chief operating officer of the galvanizing services segment—will be responsible for day-to-day operations, the company said.
