LENEXA, KAN. Jorban-Riscoe, LLC — formerly Jorban-Riscoe & Associates, Inc. — has passed from prior ownership into the hands of Kevin Harre (CEO), Kurt Harre (COO), and Mike Lorenz (President). The former owners, Mark and Joe Riscoe, took over company ownership in 1975 and 1979 (respectively) from Founder Herman Jorban, who launched the HVAC representative business in 1947.
The new owners bring several years of industry experience to their roles, most of which has been home-grown in leadership positions within the company. The Harres have worked within Jorban-Riscoe for more than 30 years each, while Lorenz has worked at the company 11 years following 25 years as a principal at another engineering firm.
