APOPKA, Fla., August 27, 2024 (BUSINESS WATCH GLOBAL) - KENPAT, a Florida-based specialty contractor known for its work in interior and exterior wall systems, ceiling systems, exterior cladding, and glass services, has announced the promotion of Etienne Wolmarans to the position of group president. This promotion is part of the company's strategy to usher in the next generation of leadership.
Etienne Wolmarans steps into the role following in the footsteps of his father, Paul Wolmarans, who co-founded KENPAT and has led the company for over four decades. Paul will continue to serve as group CEO. Etienne has been with KENPAT since 2015, holding progressively responsible positions, most recently serving as division manager for KENPAT's Gulf Coast location in Tampa.
“I am grateful to all of KENPAT’s customers and team members who, for more than 40 years, have collaborated in building the company into what it is today,” said Etienne Wolmarans. He added, "The best is yet to come as we build toward a future where KENPAT is a single point of contact for commercial building exterior envelopes, putting one responsibility under one roof for our commercial general contractor customers.”
Paul Wolmarans praised Etienne's leadership and business acumen, noting that under Etienne’s management, KENPAT Gulf Coast saw a more-than-tenfold increase in revenues and profitability between 2019 and 2024. Paul stated, “Etienne has demonstrated strong people leadership and project management skills and has a proven track record of business success.”
