Corporation’s Skyjack division is pleased to welcome Brian
Black as its new vice-president of sales. Black, a 35 year veteran in
the industry, brings a wealth of experience to the company from his work
in North America and overseas. Black began his career with Caterpillar, and over the years has
worked with many of the industry’s heavyhitters, including JLG, Snorkel,
Grove Cranes, Genie, Terex and most recently Teupen.
Black has also served
as a captain in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where he gained valuable
experience with heavy equipment. With a career focusing on
international sales and development, Black is just the presence Skyjack
was looking for to lead them into the global arena.
Skyjack’s president Brad Boehler says the company is looking forward
to benefiting from Black’s extensive skills and experience, particularly
his established relationships in the industry; “Skyjack has always been
a relationship-oriented business, and we want to stay that way.”
Black’s
first order of business domestically includes a deepening of existing
relationships with major North American rental companies, and a fresh
look at product development and marketing. On the global front, Brian
sees Skyjack expanding the company’s presence outside of North America,
getting more involved in the Middle East, Latin America and the Far
East.
