Lyons Joins Stone Services Group
CHICAGO – Dan Lyons is the new president of Stone Services Group (SSG).
Lyons will utilize his 25 years of experience in commercial construction, including work with Elmhurst, Ill.-based JC Anderson, to lead SSG into the next phase of its development into a national organization of commercial countertop installers and templators.
Calling on his experience as a general contractor, Lyons will initially focus on the commercial division of SSG, which offers national resources to template and/or install both solid surface and stone countertops on any size commercial projects, focusing on hotels, schools, multi-family and hospitals.
The rapid growth and success of this division has allowed SSG to add fulltime resources to better project manage each opportunity and provide the service levels deserved by our fabricator and millwork partners.
“I have known and trusted Dan for many, many years and when I heard he may be available, I jumped at the opportunity to bring him onboard,” says Rich Katzmann, CEO at SSG, “For over 25 years, Dan has lived and breathed in this space. His experience delivering services on-time and of high quality is unmatched.”
“Transitioning into this new role, should be smooth for me and was a no-brainer once I saw the amazing benefit that SSG is providing our industry and the rapid growth they are experiencing,” Lyons said. “As a GC, I have personally seen how a project can go sideways if the countertop installs are late, done improperly or mis- communicated. The relationships with our millwork partners are also a key to success”
Founded in 2019, Stone Services Group is a fabricator-focused firm offering software sales and integration, commercial templating and installation services, training, process development and technology services to the countertop industry by utilizing over 50 years of expertise across many key areas of a shop.
