Pignolet has held several leadership positions with the company during his 29-1/2 year tenure including Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Executive Vice President, and most recently, President. As President, Pignolet led the company to achieve record sales and growth approaching 300 percent.

In Pignolet’s new position of Chairman-of-the-Board, he will serve in an advisory capacity to Wildeck management to guide the company forward.
Greg Larson, who recently led the Strategic Planning efforts for all Holden Industry companies, will assume the position of President.
Prior to Wildeck, Larson was with Timesavers, Inc. in Maple Grove, Minn., for 13 years, where he served as President and focused on new product development, improving customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and the development of a strong dealer network for industrial sanding and grinding machines. He also held leadership positions with machine tool spindle manufacturer, SETCO in Cincinnati, Ohio, and other manufacturing companies.
“The company has made tremendous strides under Keith’s leadership,” stated Larson, “serving customers in diverse industries and markets and developing a strong and effective network of dealers and systems integrators across the country.
“During Keith’s tenure as President, Wildeck has risen to become a market leader and a preferred supplier of material handling and facility safety equipment. I am looking forward to working with Wildeck’s excellent management team to continue this tradition.”
