The Grand rapids, Mich.-based Engines and Power
Products Division of Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., announced Jan.
9 that it is strengthening its OEM sales operations with the addition of
two OEM sales managers who will report to Tim Malinowski, senior
sales manager-OEM sales. Malinowski said that the appointments of
Bryant Huyser and Darrell Hyde were effective immediately.
Huyser has been with Kawasaki since 2007, most recently as the
senior sales coordinator following a role as the sales and inventory
coordinator. His well-established relationships with OEM companies
and his extensive knowledge of the company's manufacturing
processes at its facility in Maryville, Mo., will support his ability to
easily transition to his new post.
Hyde comes to Kawasaki from Suspa Inc., a marketer of industrial
gas springs and dampening products, following a position related to the
turf and construction industries with United Rentals. He will focus on
business expansion in the commercial and related markets.
"These additions to our team will enhance the company's ability
to expand on the relationships that have been built with our OEM
partners over the past years," said Malinowski.
According to Malinowski, both of the new sales managers
will be taking care of current customers and developing new
opportunities for the brand. Kawasaki works with some of the most
recognized names in the lawn and garden industry, as well as with
industrial and golf industry vehicle manufacturers.
Most of the company's engines are built by Kawasaki Motors
Manufacturing Corp., U.S.A. (KMM) in Maryville. The KMM facility
recently celebrated the completion of more than 7-million units since
opening in 1989.
