2025 Mid-Year Update from the Executive Team
As we move into the second half of the year, we want to take a moment to recognize everything you have helped accomplish so far in 2025. Together, we are facing challenges head-on and continuing to push forward, defining what it means to have Sauer DNA. That mindset has been especially clear as we work through our Epicor launch. It has not been easy, but your commitment to learning, adjusting, and supporting each other shows what Development, Accountability, and Excellence truly look like in action. Every improvement made now is setting the stage for a more connected and capable Sauer USA.
Beyond our systems, our sights are set on growth. We are laying the groundwork for our new location in Utah with the goal of having it operating in the next few months. We have also welcomed 20 new Sauer USA team members since January who bring new energy, skills, and perspectives that will help us move even faster. These steps reflect our belief in investing in people and planning for the long term.
There is real momentum building. We recently celebrated the highest monthly After Sales revenue in Sauer USA’s history. Our Vision 2025 SMART targets are also gaining traction across the organization as we make the final push to accomplish our goals. We are seeing our core values come to life every day; from quick responses that keep customers happy, to solution focused collaboration that drives results.
There is still plenty of work to do, but we are proud of the path we are on and grateful for everything you bring to it. Keep going. Keep leading. Keep learning. Let’s finish this year stronger than ever.
-Don, Johnny, and Stuart

Meet Kyle Ricks, Rental Business Development Manager
Kyle Ricks
- What are you most excited about in your new role? I’m excited to utilize my compressor experience in a new way (Rentals) for a company that seems genuinely interested in succeeding as whole as well as on each individual’s basis.
- What are some specific projects or initiatives you’re looking forward to working on? Growing the Rental Business in the Western US, and the new opportunities and challenges that will provide.
- How do you prefer to communicate with colleagues (in-person, email, instant messaging)? I find that in person/talking on the phone provides a human touch that can be missing in email and messaging. Both are still very important and useful, but a conversation still goes a long way in my book.
- What unique insights or perspectives can you bring to our team based on your previous experience? I believe my 15 years of experience at Hycomp brings both a similar and different perspective on many things due to the similar size and application range of both company’s compressors. It provides me both with familiarity to many aspects as well as the possibility of having a different way of achieving similar results. Also seeing multiple ways of achieving the same goal provides a unique perspective to consider the options of ways of achieving the need.
- What are a few hobbies or interests you enjoy outside of work? Fishing, Hunting, Hockey, Dirt Bikes.
- What’s your favorite band or artist? Sleep Token, Meshuggah, Sylosis, Bilmuri
- Where is the most interesting place you’ve been? I travelled internationally quite a bit for previous work, however I still think the most interesting/unique place would be Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay Alaska
- What’s your favorite way to spend your weekend? Usually one of the above hobbies with my family.
