Our Story

Farm Roots, Family Business 

Deeply rooted in a foundation of hard work and unwavering dedication, brothers Brady and Chris Gaalswyk’s journey began on their family farm. This formative upbringing instilled in them an unshakeable sense of integrity and an exceptional work ethic.

​

After successfully completing their college educations, Brady worked for an extended family's trucking company before joining Chris as second-generation leaders at Easy Automation, Inc. This commitment to the legacy established by their family equipped them with a profound understanding of the sacrifices that are intrinsically linked to building and cultivating a successful family business.   

 

Under their direction, Easy Automation, Inc. grew from 40 employees to 100. In 2025, the company was awarded the Inc. 5000. Honorees on Inc.'s annual list are recognized as America's fastest-growing private companies. This award is a testament to Brady and Chris’s synergistic leadership and approach.

 

With a desire to use their individual and combined experiences to partner with other founder- and family-owned businesses, they founded Gaalswyk Holdings.
