Midland Industries Appoints John Gerber as CEO

Midland Industries, a leading supplier of brass fittings for tube, pipe and hose, has announced John Gerber as its CEO effective Sept. 14. The Kansas City, Missouri-based organization welcomes Gerber as he steps into current CEO Vince Hodes' role.

Hodes explained that he will transition into a strategic growth-focused position on the company's board. "At Midland Industries, we believe that the perfect fit matters," said Hodes. "I couldn't ask for a better leader than John Gerber to step into the role of CEO." 

With more than 20 years of experience in industrial and commercial distribution, Gerber has held positions at top companies, including General Electric, Rexel USA, WESCO and Construction Supply Group.

For the past three years, Gerber was the president of Carter-Waters & Stetson Building Products. Prior to that, he held positions as regional director, vice president of sales and marketing, general manager of European and China operations and various roles in P&L management, sales, Six Sigma Black Belt, and operations. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in finance and marketing from the Krannert School, Purdue University.

As he begins this new journey with Midland Industries, Gerber looks forward to adding to the growth and development the company has already started.

"To join such a diverse, innovative company like Midland Industries is very exciting," said Gerber. "I am humbled by the opportunity to join such a fantastic and passionate team and look forward to leading the new Midland family of companies into its next phase of success."
