The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA), the leader in promoting quality and excellence in the sheet metal and air conditioning industry, announced Scott Vidimos, president of Vidimos, Inc., has been elected by the Board of Directors to serve as vice president. Vidimos’ year-long term in office begins at the close of SMACNA’s 79th Annual Convention in Phoenix.  

Vidimos began his career in the sheet metal industry in 1979 as a project manager with Vidimos, Inc., an East Chicago, Indiana-based company specializing in duct collection, steel fabrication and industrial ventilation systems. Vidimos’ expertise and background in the sheet metal industry enabled him to advance within the company, ultimately becoming president and third-generation leader in 2005. 

“Scott’s dedication to SMACNA is demonstrated by the numerous positions in which he has served at both the national and local levels,” said Aaron Hilger, SMACNA’s Chief Executive Officer. “Scott is well-known for building strong working relationships with labor and management partners, which will undoubtedly benefit SMACNA and its members in a variety of roles.”  

An active member of SMACNA both nationally and locally, Vidimos has served in many roles and committees, including SMACNA's Industrial Contractors Council Steering Committee, Technical Resources Committee, Budget and Finance Committee, Director Nominating Committee and as a SMACNA-IFUS Trustee. Locally, Vidimos has been heavily involved in his local chapter, the Northern Indiana Sheet Metal Contractors Association.
