REYCO GRANNING ADDS STAFF IN THE ENGINEERING, MARKETING, AND WARRANTY DEPARTMENTS

MOUNT VERNON, MO (October 2011) – Reyco Granning is happy to announce the addition of three new employees.

The Powered Vehicle group has added two senior project engineers to the team, Michael Buis and Eric Lagerstrom. Before joining Reyco Granning, most recently Buis spent five years at a leading vacuum and blower system manufacturer as a product engineer. Throughout his career, Buis has specialized in product design and implementation of streamlined production processes. Buis will focus primarily on drive axle applications.

Lagerstrom brings more than 10 years experience in the manufacturing industry to his position at Reyco Granning. In addition to serving as the senior manufacturing engineer for one of the largest trailer manufacturers in the US, Lagerstorm has also worked as the process engineer for one of the largest fineblanking manufacturing companies in the North America. Lagerstrom will focus primarily on independent front suspension applications.

Sarah Rogers is a recent addition to the marketing department and will serve in the role of marketing specialist. She spent 10 years in marketing and project management for higher education and non-profit organizations before making the switch to the transportation industry. In addition to assisting with strategic planning and overseeing creative development for the marketing department, Rogers will also assist Reyco Granning’s president with special projects.

Bill Simmons is not exactly a new employee since he is returning after a few years away from the company. Formerly a District Sales Manager, Bill will now use his 45 years experience in the transportation industry to focus on field service and warranty for Reyco Granning. Fleet managers and dealers and his other industry colleagues are already welcoming Bill’s return because they know they will benefit from Bill’s extensive product and market knowledge. Bill will be involved with all Reyco Granning products with a special emphasis on trailer suspensions.
