We're excited to welcome Dean Nienhuis as Perlick’s new President. With deep experience in strategy, operations, sales, and product development, most recently serving as President of a global metal machinery manufacturer, Dean brings proven leadership in building high-performance teams and guiding organizations through accelerated growth. 

Together with Theodore "TJ" Perlick Molinari , our fifth-generation family leadership team, and a dynamic group of emerging leaders, Dean will help guide Perlick into one of the most exciting chapters in its history — honoring our legacy while building what’s next, right here in Milwaukee. As President, Nienhuis will report to TJ and oversee daily operations, cross-functional alignment, and execution of the company’s long-term strategic vision. Perlick also recognizes Jeffrey Schwager , former President and General Manager, for his outstanding leadership and contributions. Schwager will continue to serve on Perlick’s Board of Directors and support the transition. 🙌 

Perlick’s legacy is strong, but the future is even bolder, and we’re just getting started 😎
