BEAU SWET
Co-owner, COO Designate
Service Department & Operations Manager

Widely recognized for his deep Cla-Val expertise and hands-on support of operators through complex valve challenges, Beau’s leadership impact extends well beyond a highly-skilled, factory-authorized service team.
Over the years, Beau has played a key role in strengthening Cimco-GC Systems’ operations. He has built and led high-performing teams, set clear expectations, and established standards for how work gets done. He is committed to supporting manufacturing and distribution partners by ensuring Cimco-GC Systems delivers in the field–through service, operations, and day-to-day collaboration.
When he’s not at work, Beau enjoys spending time with his family, working on anything with a motor, and–true to form–taking emergency calls when challenges arise.
