Manitowoc, WI – The Dramm Corporation is thrilled to announce that Les Evans has been promoted to lead the DRAMMwater Business Segment of the Dramm Corporation. Les first joined Dramm in 2009 after more than a decade working with several other industry-leading companies. As our first Northeastern US Technical Representative, Les helped build the territory and our current Commercial Products sales structure. After a brief stint away with a waste-management startup, Les returned to work on the DRAMMwater team. Covering a range of responsibilities from regional sales to managing system engineering, Les has helped establish DRAMMwater as a leader in Complete Water Management for the horticultural industry.
Les will be replacing Al Zylstra who will be retiring in July 2025. Al was instrumental in building DRAMMwater, joining Dramm at the segment’s inception in 2010. Over the past 15 years, Al has led DRAMMwater through its growth, building the business unit from scratch and leading the team as it grew. After retirement, Al will remain with Dramm on a consulting contract as our DRAMMwater Emeritus Manager, working on special projects but spending considerably more time on his boat. We wish Al the best as he shifts his focus to more leisurely pursuits.
