Expanding Maas Brothers’ Management Team: Right Time, Right Person
“Hiring Everardo is the next right step for us,” said Kevin Maas, President of Maas Brothers. “We’ve invested in state-of-the-art equipment, improved our processes through lean manufacturing, and built a strong middle management team by promoting internal talent. Everardo brings fresh eyes and the kind of experience that will help us keep growing the right way — without losing sight of what matters: doing quality work, taking care of our customers, and continuing to mentor our team.”
At Maas Brothers, it’s not enough to just have the right skills — culture fit matters, too.
“We’re a family owned and operated business that typically promotes from within,” said Gina Maas, Executive Vice President. “This was the first time we considered an outside hire at this level, so we took our time to find just the right person. Everardo stood out because he understands how to lead growth while strengthening our company’s culture. He’s collaborative, hands-on, customer service driven and focused on continuous improvement – all hallmarks of what Maas Brothers stands for.”
The Maas Brothers senior leadership team now includes Sagarnaga, working alongside Kevin, Kraig, and Gina Maas.
“I am genuinely thrilled to be a part of the Maas Brothers team and deeply admire the work of Kevin, Kraig, and Gina,” said Sagarnaga. “The dedication and professionalism I have witnessed across our talented individuals, coupled with their exceptional leadership, are truly inspiring. With such a strong foundation and a shared commitment to excellence for our customers and in our teamwork, I am incredibly optimistic about the significant growth opportunities ahead for Maas Brothers.”
