Peak is growing in every fundamental area and Ron helped drive that momentum. I couldn’t be more excited for Ron’s promotion, the future of the organization and the opportunity for me to remain engaged with the board.”
Bayus added, “I am looking forward to serving as President & CEO of Peak Toolworks. I have had the privilege of working with Kerry and the most talented employees in the tooling industry over the last five years. We have built a great culture at Peak and we will continue to stay focused on our ‘True North’ vision. Peak will continue to deliver innovative products and industry leading service, quality, and employee career development for years to come.”
