As we continue to invest in branded manufacturing and industrial automation companies throughout Southern Minnesota, Northern Iowa, Eastern South Dakota, and Western Wisconsin, we’re looking for exceptional individuals who are ready to lead.

As our portfolio evolves, we're seeking talented professionals who may not be ready to move today—but are open to the right opportunity when the time comes. Think of this as a chance to get to know one another. We'll share our long-term vision and values-driven approach, while learning more about your background, leadership strengths, and career aspirations.

At Gaalswyk Holdings, we work closely with business owners, employees, and customers who share our values. When the fit is right, we’ll help you step confidently into a General Manager/Integrator role that aligns with your experience, leadership style, and goals. These roles serve as the right hand to our co-founders and are responsible for leading day-to-day operations, grounded in EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) principles, and a strong commitment to core values.
