Kochek Announces Major Leadership Transition - Firefighting Equipment

On the heels of a year of significant company growth and change, Kochek co-owners and brothers, Greg and Charlie Kozey, recently announced organizational changes in the company.

Company founder Greg Kozey stated, “After a great deal of discussion and thoughtful consideration, we have decided the time has come to transition our responsibilities. Charlie and I will concentrate on building relationships with our valued customers. We will be traveling the world developing new relationships and reestablishing communication with old friends.”

Co-owner Charlie Kozey added, “We are confident the timing is right for this transition and the company is well-poised for continued growth. As part of the transition, Dan Olm will be assuming the role of President and CEO while overseeing the day to day management of Kochek. We are confident the Kochek team has never been stronger and better-positioned to move the company forward.”

Greg is optimistic about the major transitions that have precipitated this announcement. “We are in the midst of an unprecedented period of change and growth,” he said. “When we founded the company in 1988, we had no idea it would emerge as one of the nation’s leading manufacturers in the fire equipment and water movement industries. The increasing demand for our products and services has dictated an aggressive growth strategy. Thanks to private investors, we are moving forward, improving our operational infrastructure and processes. “

Greg Kozey reflected, “We are deeply grateful to every person in our staff as well as our dedicated network of dealers and partners who have helped make this great company what it is today. Together, we will continue to move Kochek to new heights.”
