Evan Hughes, chief executive officer; Pat McQuillan, president; and Jim Kanter, chief commercial officer: “The growth experienced over the last three years has been attributed to our focus on quality products and a team that believes in what they make and sell. The entire state of Wisconsin has been an incredible supporter of Central Standard, and they are a big reason for our growth.”
