Chris Vazzana in January 2025 will take over as President of Holland, L.P. (Holland), a Crete, Ill.-based provider of welding, track measurement, and railcar products and services. He succeeds Jordan Wolf, who will retire after 12 years at Holland.
Jordan Wolf will work over the next several months to transition the role to Chris Vazzana. Wolf served 20 years with Curran Group, Inc., Holland’s holding company.
“I want to recognize Jordan for his leadership over the years,” Curran Group CEO and President Matt Stillings said. “He has built Holland into a strong business with a talented team and stellar reputation.”
Jordan 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. He has also served on the Board of the Edison Awards, which is said to recognize innovation.
Vazzana said, “I am both honored and excited to be joining the exceptional Holland team. I hope to build upon the efforts and successes of our team members to drive a bright future.”
