ST. LOUIS — Rapid Locking System (RLS) announced the appointment of Susan Labadie as president, effective immediately.
Labadie joins RLS from CerroZone, where she served as president and led the company’s rebranding and market positioning of its innovative indoor air purification technology. Previously, she was vice president of marketing, strategy, and innovation at Cerrowire, a producer of copper building wire. She has also held executive positions at HD Supply, the Prysmian Group (a multinational wire and cable company), and professional services giant PwC.
Labadie’s appointment marks a significant milestone for RLS as the company celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2025. Throughout the past decade, RLS has revolutionized the HVACR market with its patented press-to-connect fittings, with more than 20 million installations worldwide.
“It is an honor to join Rapid Locking System as the company celebrates its tenth anniversary,” said Labadie. “This milestone reflects the incredible dedication and creativity of the entire team, including the partners and customers who’ve trusted RLS fittings in millions of applications worldwide. Our goal is to continue to build on this legacy by expanding our solutions, achieving operational excellence, and driving new growth to inspire our next decade.”
Designed to deliver reliable, leak-free joints in seconds, RLS fittings offer a flame-free alternative to traditional brazing, enabling 60% faster installation, reduced labor costs, and enhanced safety and consistency on every connection, the company says.
“As the industry continues to evolve, we recognize the need for visionary leadership to drive strategic growth at Rapid Locking System. We are confident that Susan brings the expertise and fresh perspective needed to guide RLS towards an even brighter future,” noted Jason Macgregor, Marmon Group president, Plumbing & Refrigeration.
