    Wolmarans steps into this role following the leadership of his father, Paul Wolmarans, who will continue to serve as group CEO. Paul is a co-founder of the company and has dedicated more than four decades to its growth and success. Etienne brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having spent more than nine years in progressively responsible positions at the company, most recently serving as division manager of KENPAT’s Gulf Coast location in Tampa.

    “I am grateful to all of KENPAT’s customers and team members who, for more than 40 years, have collaborated in building the company into what it is today,” said Etienne Wolmarans. “I know I speak for the entire leadership team when I say that the best is yet to come as we build toward a future where KENPAT is a single point of contact for commercial building exterior envelopes, putting one responsibility under one roof for our commercial general contractor customers.”

    Paul Wolmarans said, “Etienne has demonstrated strong people leadership and project management skills and has a proven track record of business success, leading KENPAT Gulf Coast to a more-than-tenfold increase in revenues and profitability between 2019 and 2024. Etienne has also led nearly three dozen important and highly visible corporate initiatives, underscoring his ability to deliver exceptional results.”

    Etienne’s appointment marks a significant milestone for KENPAT as it begins to transition the company to the next generation of leaders, with a focus on growth and accelerated innovation in the construction industry. The company’s dedication to providing design assistance, manufacturing, and installation services across multiple sectors—such as drywall, exterior envelope, glass/glazing, and acoustical products—positions it as a leader in safety, quality, reliability, and convenience for its customers.

    Etienne Wolmarans has been with KENPAT since 2015, working through a series of progressively responsible roles. Prior to joining KENPAT, he was a staff engineer at AECOM. He holds a master’s degree in structural engineering from Florida Atlantic University and a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the Florida Institute of Technology. He and his family recently relocated from Tampa to the Orlando area.
