CRETE, Ill. – The engineering-based company has announced a new president, Chris Vazzana, will take over after its current president, Jordan Wolf, retires in January 2025.

According to the press release, Vazzana will work with Wolf during the transition over the next several months. Wolf served 20 years with Curran Group, Inc., Holland’s holding company. Curran Group CEO and President Matt Stillings said, “I want to recognize Jordan for his leadership over the years. He has built Holland into a strong business with a talented team and stellar reputation.” Holland thanked Wolf for his “devotion to the company over the years.”

Wolf commented, “Since coming to Holland, my goal all along was to help make Holland a safer place to work. It was to satisfy our goals, and it was to remain the confident yet humble company that we strive to be. Over the years, I’ve been motivated by my teammates, who have grown to be my friends and have done so much to make those goals possible. It’s been the honor of my life to lead such a wonderful group with dedicated, talented people.”

Vazzana comes from Parker Hannifin where he served as General Manager, Electronic Motion and Controls Division. Parker Hannifin is a multi-million-dollar business that has eight facilities in five countries and more than 800 employees “manufacturing electronics, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artifical Intelligence (AI) for industrial and mobile products.” Before that, Vazzana worked in various management roles with General Electric, Rexnord, IDEX, and Madison Industries.
