Central States has promoted Dan Pratt to the role of vice president of sales – manufacturing.
Pratt brings nearly two decades of leadership experience to the role, including a distinguished military career, and years improving quality, operations, and sales processes for industrial and B2B companies, including Tandemloc, Inc. and Central States.
Pratt joined Central States in 2019 as the managing director for the East Division, with regional oversight over both operations and sales activity in the entire division. According to a press release, since that time, Pratt’s exceptional leadership, strategic insight, and a deep commitment to Central States earned him a promotion to managing director for the North Division in 2024, and now his new role.
Over the past five years, Pratt has successfully led operations and sales across some of Central States’ largest regions, driving growth and building strong teams.
“Dan’s promotion reflects the impact he’s made across our organization,” said Doug Watts, president of Central States Manufacturing. “His ability to lead with vision and integrity makes him the ideal person to guide our manufacturing sales into the future.”
In his new role, Pratt will lead the company’s manufacturing sales strategy and sales teams across the country.
