It’s the people.
Since the day this web site was launched we have led with our theme “it’s the people”. Today we are saddened to announce the passing of the one person who best exemplified that theme, our founder, Jim Braas. Jim started Braas Company in the early 60’s and from the beginning Jim’s passion, and style was to always emphasize “the people” in everything he did. Whether it was hiring and developing new employees, or working side by side with a client to size a valve, or replace a worn out clutch brake, Jim’s concern was the welfare of those he served, and those who served with him.
Jim’s faith and trust in his employees was best evidenced by his decision in 1986 to sell his company to the employees who had helped him grow it. Since those days we, the benefactors of Jim’s decision, have strived to honor Jim by carrying on his philosophy of doing business by putting the client’s interests first.
While Jim’s passing is a very sad thing, the employee-owners of Braas Company are proud to carry on the name and legacy of James Edward Braas, and we want to thank the hundreds, and thousands of you who trusted Jim in the early days, and continue to place your trust in the company he founded.
