Manitou North America Beefs Up Sales Force

Kirk Zander

January 3, 2005—Manitou North America, Waco, Texas, has added five new sales positions to better serve both the agricultural and construction/industrial markets.

 

The positions of Western and Eastern Agricultural Regional Sales Manager have been created to focus and reinforce the company's continuing effort of expanding the important agricultural market. Once the new positions are appointed, the current group of five regional managers will no longer be responsible for agricultural activity and will focus their efforts on expanding and improving the construction and industrial products and distribution channel within their respective markets.

 

The position of Field Sales Manager, filled by Kirk Zander, has been created to manage the activities of the expanded group of seven regional managers. For the past five years, Zander has served as Manitou's Midwest regional sales manager.

 

In the marketing department, the positions of Construction Specialist and Technical Specialist will be added to support the efforts of the regional managers and their dealers for the construction telescopic market.

 

“The additional staff reinforces Manitou North America's commitment to expanding and supporting its ambitions and presence in the marketplace and support of our dealer network,” said Ed Ugolini, director of Sales and marketing.
