employees and communities across the country. He was honored as a Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce Friend of the Environment.
“Tom’s impact will continue to be felt through the people he mentored, the relationships he built and the values he embodied every day. He leaves behind a company that is rooted in tradition, strengthened by culture and well-positioned for future success as a 100% employee-owned company,” said Dave Kievet, President and CEO of The Boldt Group.
Tom Boldt’s commitment to philanthropy, community development and global impact has helped to extend Boldt values beyond job sites. A supporter of the arts and culture, Tom Boldt was recognized with a Rotary Paul Harris Award.
