CEO Announcement | September 2026

Honoring Our History. Looking Ahead to the Future.

Dear Valued Customer,

For more than 50 years, Akkerman has been built on hard work, innovation, and a deep commitment to the trenchless contractors we serve. That foundation began with D.H. Akkerman, whose vision and entrepreneurial spirit established a legacy that continues to guide our company today. His son, Maynard Akkerman, carried that vision forward, growing the business while strengthening the values that define who we are.


Maynard’s reflections on Akkerman’s history, purpose, and future remain deeply meaningful to us. They are a lasting reminder of the principles that shaped this company and continue to guide the path ahead. That legacy, built over generations, is rooted in hard work, innovation, integrity, and service to the trenchless industry.


Today, we are proud to share an important milestone in Akkerman’s story. As a third-generation, family-owned business, we are pleased to announce Justin Akkerman as our new Chief Executive Officer. Justin steps into this role with deep respect for the foundation laid by his grandfather and father, along with a clear vision for Akkerman’s continued growth, innovation, and service to our customers.


This transition represents both continuity and progress. While leadership moves forward, our commitment to quality, integrity, and the partners we serve remains unchanged. We are confident that under Justin’s leadership, Akkerman will continue to build on its strong heritage and uphold the values that have defined our company for generations.


Thank you for being part of our journey and for your continued trust and support. We are honored to share a meaningful piece of Akkerman’s history with you and look forward to carrying this legacy into the future.

Sincerely,
The Akkerman Board of Directors

THE AKKERMAN LEGACY
