Fuchs Expands Focus in North America
Published: 15/1
Fuchs, German manufacturer of specialist material handling equipment, is deepening its commitment to North America with the addition of three new sales professionals to its team. This move is part of Fuchs’ broader effort to enhance customer engagement and support throughout the region, drawing on the extensive knowledge, expertise, and engineering expertise from its manufacturing center of excellence in Germany.
“North America remains a vital market for Fuchs, driven by increased demand in key sectors such as ports, logging and scrap recycling, where we have focused our product development efforts in recent years,” says Andreas Ernst, Terex Fuchs general manager for material handling and lifting in the Americas. “By strengthening our sales team in North America, we are dedicated to providing the best support to our distributors, who in turn can provide the best customer experience in the field.”
Leading the Fuchs North American team is newly appointed sales director Gregory Wiese, who brings a wealth of experience from his previous roles at Pacific Floorcare and Nilfisk, Inc. Wiese will oversee sales and business development for Fuchs across the United States and Canada, ensuring that strategic objectives are met.
Joining Gregory are Caleib Lynch and Larry Lehmann, appointed as Southeast and Northeast regional sales managers, respectively. Lynch, with his extensive background in the construction equipment and attachment sector will play a key role in enhancing customer support and facilitating communication between Fuchs, its distributors, and customers in his region. Lehmann brings more 10 years of industry experience, including his recent role at a scrap metal recycling company, where he managed demolition contracts and site operations.
These new appointments join the existing Fuchs North American sales team, which includes regional sales managers John VanRuitenbeek (West Coast US and Western Canada), and Joel Hardy (North Central US and Eastern Canada).
