“I could not be more excited to be joining Rayser Holdings as the new leader of J-TEC Associates. It is an honor to be entrusted with this innovative and world-class business here in Cedar Rapids,” said Kruger in a release, adding he would bring an entrepreneurial outlook, and more than 25 years of experience to J-TEC. “I am grateful for the support of Gary Roling who grew J-TEC into the leader in its field over his 32 years of service. There are many opportunities that lie ahead for J-TEC and I am excited to meet those challenges together.”
