A Message from the President of SPIDA: 2026
Kyle Brumleu is leading the Spiral Duct Manufacturers Association into the future
NEW PRESIDENT: Message from Kyle Brumleu, president of the Spiral Duct Manufacturers Association (SPIDA).
As I step into the role of President for the Spiral Duct Manufacturers Association (SPIDA) after serving on the board for almost 5 years now, I want to begin by saying how honored and grateful I am for the opportunity to continue to serve this organization and its members.
I have spent most of my life in the sheet metal and duct manufacturing industry. I joined OmniDuct in October 2006, but in many ways, my experience goes back much further. As a third-generation owner of OmniDuct, I have been around duct manufacturing my entire life. I am currently the CEO of OmniDuct but over the years, I have had the privilege of working hands-on in spiral pipe production, round and rectangular duct fabrication, CAD programming, customer service and sales, and now leading our four manufacturing facilities in an industry that continues to evolve while staying rooted in craftsmanship and pride.
What has always drawn me to SPIDA is the people. This organization represents an unmatched network of manufacturers, vendors, and industry experts from across the country. SPIDA creates a space where technical knowledge is shared openly, relationships are built, and best practices are exchanged in ways that directly strengthen our businesses and our industry as a whole.
As President, my goal is simple: to help SPIDA continue to grow its membership, deepen engagement, and expand opportunities for connection and collaboration. Whether through technical initiatives, educational efforts, or networking events, I believe SPIDA plays a vital role in supporting both experienced leaders and the next generation entering our field.
I am especially looking forward to seeing many of you at upcoming industry events, including our gathering in Las Vegas at AHR and at our annual meeting in May in the great city of Boston. These are the wonderful times when we can continue meaningful conversations, share ideas, and learn from one another. These in-person interactions remain one of SPIDA’s greatest strengths, and I encourage all members to take full advantage of them.
I want to thank the Board, past leadership, and the membership for their confidence and support. I may not have all the answers, but I am committed to listening, learning, and working alongside you to help SPIDA move forward.
I look forward to the year ahead and to serving this organization and industry that has given so much to me.
