MINNEAPOLIS, Kan., Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Huyett is proud to announce the addition of Scott Heemstra as Vice President of Operations and fifth member of the Executive Team. Heemstra began his twenty-nine-year career at Diamond Vogel, Inc. – one of the nation's leading paint and coatings manufacturers – after earning a degree in Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering from Iowa State University. His time at Diamond Vogel included an array of roles with escalating responsibilities, where he ultimately advanced to the position of Vice President of Operations. He was also heavily involved in community boards, commissions, and trade associations in the paint and coatings industry. In his new role at Huyett, Heemstra will be developing daily operational strategies, managing projects, and supporting Huyett's manufacturing facilities. This integral addition to the Huyett Executive Team will help the company move forward with upcoming growth and expansion.
Heemstra states that his choice to join Huyett's team was largely influenced by the company culture of communities building community. "Huyett is a place where I'll be able to build on the culture and the success of its past to guide innovations for the future. I'm excited to be in a position to not only develop business solutions, but to engage as a leader with a company that gives back to its community. It was important to me to find a place that aligned with both of those priorities."
Huyett also welcomes Rob Hammatt, CMA, as the new Corporate Controller. Hammatt's educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Finance and an MBA in Finance and Accounting, which propelled him into a distinguished career as a Certified Management Accountant with a focus in cost accounting, strategic planning, and management reporting. As a consultant and management accountant, Hammatt has used the concept of integrating financial and cost accounting to elevate the financial IQ of organizations. When asked what he was looking forward to contributing as a new Huyett team member, Hammatt stated:
"As a financial professional, I know how crucial it is to understand the entire business operation to effectively manage the organization's finances. That level of understanding comes from a company culture that encourages transparency. I'm excited to start that journey at Huyett."
Huyett CEO, Timothy O'Keeffe, notes that with Heemstra and Hammatt joining the team, the company is ready to begin growing in some key areas.
"Together, these appointments present a new paradigm of executive management. We are at the advent of some exciting expansions, all of which will consume precious capital and resources. These gentlemen will help steer us through these exciting but complicated times. In our selection process, we were specifically looking for servant leaders that not only build systems and processes, but more importantly, build culture and will develop talent. They check all the boxes."
Scott Longfellow, Huyett's newly-appointed Chief Operating Officer, further added, "I am excited for Scott and Rob to improve our corporate ability to work on the business as opposed to in the business as we continue a steady course of rapid expansion."
