ST. LOUIS – On the opening night of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) 2025 Annual Convention, the Manufacturing & Services (M&S) Division announced the 2025 Executive Committee Chair at their annual dinner. Outgoing Chair Mark Krause of McLanahan/Eagle Iron Works handed off the gavel to Craig Lamarque of Wirtgen America, a John Deere Company. Kristen Randall of Superior Industries was named Vice Chair. 

“Our M&S members, and the technology, knowledge and equipment they provide, are critical to the success of the industry,” said interim NSSGA President & CEO Michele Stanley. “Craig’s experience and leadership skills make him an excellent choice to chair the M&S Division.”

Lamarque serves as V.P. Head of Digital Products at Wirtgen America, a John Deere Company. He joined Wirtgen America in Jan. 2024 and has been with John Deere since 1999. His career in manufacturing spans 40 years. 

The gavel exchange ceremony, held at the NSSGA M&S members’ dinner, was attended by the M&S Board, Executive Committee members and past Chairs. Lamarque will formally be voted into the NSSGA Leadership during the Annual Membership and Board of Directors Meeting on Tuesday, March 26.
