Central States Inc. welcomed Kurt Weaver as its incoming CEO of the enterprise business, which includes Central States Manufacturing, Central States Building Works, and Elevate Structures, effective June 1.
“His track record of scaling businesses, operational depth, and alignment with our values make him a strong fit for our employee-owned culture,” said Christopher Harrison, lead board director.
Central States serves customers through three operating business units, which provide metal roofing, siding, walls, doors, and other components; material-only metal building packages, including self-storage and PEMB; and mid-rise, multi-story construction.
“I am excited to join the team at Central States. Recognizing the alignment of the company culture with my team-based leadership style made the decision to join the company easy,” said Weaver, who possesses over 30 years of experience in the automotive and flooring sectors.
He also holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Ferris State University and an MBA from Michigan State University.
Weaver’s appointment comes more than two years after current CEO Jim Sliker was elected the chair of the board for Central States Inc., where he will continue to provide leadership for the seven-member board.
“I am proud of what the collective Central States team has built together over the years,” said Sliker. “As I move more fully into this next chapter, I have full confidence in Kurt as our new CEO.”
