LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Angeles Equity Partners, LLC ("Angeles"), a private investment firm that partners with niche manufacturing, critical industrial services, and specialty distribution businesses to realize their full potential, announced the appointment of Corwin Carson as CEO of Acieta LLC ("Acieta"). Carson will leverage his experience serving on the Acieta board of directors since 2023 and as its president and chief commercial officer since 2024. Former CEO Craig Ulrich will remain with Acieta as executive chair of the board.

”Under Corwin’s leadership as president and chief commercial officer, Acieta has delivered 25% year-over-year revenue growth the past two years, while integrating operations across seven North American facilities, to enable a 4X increase in average project size," said Matt Hively, operating partner at Angeles Operations Group. “Carson has helped sharpen Acieta’s focus on platform consistency, operational discipline, and customer outcomes across industries, including automotive, consumer goods, and industrial manufacturing. I am confident Corwin will further accelerate the growth of the business and deepen relationships with Acieta’s customers and partners.”

Headquartered in Waukesha, Wisconsin, with additional operations throughout North America, Acieta is an automation systems integrator serving a diverse set of commercial and industrial end markets. The appointment of Carson as CEO is the latest step to support the company’s strategic plan to accelerate growth in the industrial automation and robotics sector.

"I am excited and honored to lead the dedicated and talented Acieta team into the next chapter of growth, as we seek to achieve our full potential,” said Acieta CEO Corwin Carson. “Acieta has the structure, discipline, and platform scale needed to support customers well beyond system installation – from design and build to lifecycle support. My focus is now on leveraging that scale to ensure we evolve alongside our customers as their complex production demands change. I see continued significant growth potential, further fueled by the reshoring of manufacturing in North America.”

Under Angeles’ ownership, the Acieta platform has more than doubled in size while expanding service capabilities and diversifying end markets and capacity. With over 310,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space across seven facilities, Acieta is an innovative production automation and operations technology integrator at scale in North America. Angeles believes Acieta’s focus on innovation with customers positions the company to advance the future of operations automation across aerospace, agriculture, automotive, building products, consumer packaged goods, energy, heavy industry, and life sciences sectors.

Carson has been a leader in the robotics and automation field for more than two decades, holding a variety of C-level positions, including Chief Executive Officer and Chief Revenue Officer, as well as progressive sales leadership roles throughout his career. He was formerly the CEO of United Robotics Group Americas, a platform for uniting young service robotics companies by bundling hardware and software expertise.
