Ramtech President Matt Slataper with His Parents, Company Founders Mike and Shirley Slataper
As the commercial modular building industry continues to grow and evolve, so too have the number of privately held companies who have seen their founders turn the reins over to the next generation of leaders. In many of these companies, it’s now the sons and daughters who are stepping up to take over. This is the case with several firms including Ramtech where Matt Slataper became President on January 1st of this year. Although Mike Slataper remains the CEO of Ramtech, Matt took over the day to day operations from Linc Moss who will take retirement at the end of the year.
