Given the significance of the rental business, Perkins Engines Company Limited has added a dedicated position to develop and drive a go-to-market rental strategy. Andy Zuckerman, currently Americas sales director, has accepted the newly created global rental manager position. Zuckerman will have responsibility to drive this critical segment to position the company's brands as viable solutions for rental customers around the world.

“Andy is well-suited for this position with significant experience in key marketing and rental roles with our company and prior to joining our team,” said Jaz Gill, vice president of global sales, marketing, service and parts. “His vast rental experience makes him a great fit for this very important role.”

Ron Schultz has been named Americas sales director and will replace Zuckerman. Schultz will be responsible for industrial engine sales execution for Perkins branded products within the Americas region. Schultz has most recently served as the aftermarket director and general manager of the global on-highway truck division of Caterpillar.

“Ron has an extensive background in marketing, distribution and sales with the company and will bring these great experiences to our Americas Sales Director role,” Gill said. “I am confident that Ron can step right in and help us in many ways as we serve customers and grow our brand in the Americas.”

These moves are effective Dec. 1, 2017.
