Door Hardware supplier Top Notch Distributors has appointed Brian Pertman as the company’s new president. Pertman is just the third president in the company’s 50-year history, following founder Chuck Jurgensen and current President & CEO Dave Prouty, who will continue in his role as CEO until his planned retirement in late in 2026.

Pertman brings more than three decades of leadership experience across Stanley Black & Decker, Allegion and Jeld-Wen to the role, along with expertise in both manufacturing and distribution. He most recently served as general manager of Stanley Access Technologies.

“Having spent my entire career in and around residential and commercial construction, I have tremendous respect for the partnerships that drive our industry forward,” Pertman said in an Oct. 27 news release. “Top Notch’s reputation for integrity, teamwork and customer focus is exceptional, and I look forward to working closely with our employees, customers and manufacturing partners to build on that strong foundation for the future.”

Founders Chuck and Wanda Jurgensen added: “Brian’s experience, leadership, and values align perfectly with the culture we’ve built at Top Notch over the past 50 years. His servant leadership approach and dedication to relationships make him the ideal person to carry our family legacy forward while guiding the company into its next chapter.”
