YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Mark Lamoncha, CEO and president of Humtown Products, has been elected president of the Mahoning Valley Manufacturers Coalition Board of Directors.
His appointment comes after the death of Chris Allen, former board president.
Lamoncha has been a champion of innovation and workforce development in the manufacturing sector. Under his leadership, Humtown earned the 2020 Manufacturer of the Year award from the National Association of Manufacturers.
Most recently, the company received the 2025 NAM Collaborative Ecosystems Award for building education-to-career pathways through regional partnerships, along with NAM’s Transforming Business Cultures Award in 2024, which was recognition for Lamoncha’s book, “The Industrial Athlete Operating System.”
A strong advocate for connecting education, policy and industry, Lamoncha is a board member for the Ohio State Board of Education, The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association, the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber and numerous Columbiana County initiatives.
“Chris Allen’s leadership left a lasting impact on MVMC, and we honor his legacy moving forward,” said Alex Hertzer, MVMC executive director. “Mark’s experience, vision and dedication to strengthening manufacturing in our community make him an excellent choice to lead MVMC as we continue building on the strong foundation Chris helped establish.”
Lamoncha will complete the current two-year term, which runs through the end of 2026.
