Ingo Schiller has been named senior vice president of sales and marketing for North America. He will be responsible for sales and marketing activities related to North American dealers and direct customers. He will report to Larry Weyers, executive vice president of Manitowoc Americas.
Weyers said Schiller’s vast lifting industry experience is a great benefit as the company looks toward the future economic recovery.
“In this new position, Ingo will be responsible for short- and long-term strategic sales plans, market share growth and product development opportunities,” he said. “His experience and leadership skills will help position Manitowoc for significant growth as we emerge from the current market downturn.”
Schiller, who has spent 15 years in a variety of senior sales and management positions in the lifting industry, joined Manitowoc as vice president of mobile hydraulic cranes in January 2008.
Schiller replaces Dave Birkhauser who retired last year.
