Hamilton, OH (Aug. 25, 2025) — OPW, a Dover company, announced today that David Malinas appointed OPW president, effective immediately.
Malinas brings more than 20 years of operational leadership experience to his new role.

During that time, he led the development and execution of Dover’s manufacturing strategy, with a strong focus on footprint optimization, continuous improvement, supply chain efficiency and quality enhancement. His efforts were instrumental in driving profitable growth across Dover’s operating companies.
“OPW has always represented innovation, quality and a commitment to operational excellence," said Malinas, newly appointed president of OPW. "I’m thrilled to rejoin the Dover organization and work alongside our talented OPW team, building on this strong foundation to accelerate growth, drive performance and deliver long-term value for our customers.”
