Head Office

Ryan Hildebrand

Hi, my name is Ryan Hildebrand. My role is Regional Sales Manager for Western Canada and Southeastern and South Central United States.

I have been with Friesens since 1994 in a variety of roles dealing with production details, through to customer service, sales, and now sales management.

I graduated from the University of Manitoba with my CIM (honours) in 2003.

I enjoy the ever-changing aspect of our business and the challenges it brings. The years of experience with Friesens has covered various facets, which has taught me a great deal about the production of books as well as the need for building strong relationships with customers. Partnerships and innovative solutions for customers are key components of Friesens. Our commitment to customers is the driving force that makes us leaders of our industry.

Away from the office I enjoy spending time with my family. My spouse Carissa, our three young children, Braden, Averie, and Griffin are the joys of my life. Just when I think I have this "parenting thing" under control, the kids always seem to surprise me. We enjoy camping and spending time out doors . . . and when I have time I still play a bit of hockey and try to sneak in a golf game or two.

I look forward to working with you on your next project.

Tom Klassen

Welcome to Friesens Corporation. My name is Tom Klassen and I’m the Eastern Canada Regional Sales Manager. Since 1996 I have been a part owner of Friesens Corporation (Friesens is an employee owned company), which has been both a rewarding and gratifying experience. When I first started with the company I joined the financial department and assumed the responsibility as the company credit manager. A few years later I joined the sales team and became the Eastern Canada Sales Manager. Both positions have been rewarding, challenging and exciting. I particularly enjoy establishing long term relationships with our customers and value those relationships as an essential component in any business.

On a personal note, away from the office I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife and two kids enjoy the Altona area and all the activities available in the southern Manitoba area. Some of my interests include skiing, swimming, traveling, reading, and photography.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting our website. If you should have questions regarding your next book project, please feel free to email me at tomk@friesens.com Thank You!
