The KAYAN management team has an incredibly diverse background which enables a think tank that works outside the box. Each project we look at has one goal but many ways to reach that goal. It is up to our team to find the fastest and most economical way to reach the client goal. If the entire executive group thought through everything the same there would never be a different perspective. At KAYAN we encourage unconventional thinking, we feel this is why we are ahead of other technology providers.
We first look at ways to complete the project in a way no one else has so by default the strategies and technologies differ.

Mr Garrett and Mr. Chapman started working together at this point in Keith’s career which was 1995. Finally Mr. Chapman was given the task of managing the daily activities of one of Tarmac’s two fabrication shops. He also lead a team that seeked out new venders for improving production and/or reducing product cost.
