Road Machinery LLC has named Brad Bjerke Regional Sales Manager of the Central Region.

Bjerke brings with him more than 25 years of experience in heavy equipment sales and marketing.

He returns to Road Machinery, the exclusive Komatsu dealer of Arizona, New Mexico and most of California, after more than seven years in the heavy equipment auction business, four years with Iron Planet and three years with Cat Auction Services. Previously, Bjerke had served with Road Machinery as sales manager from 2006-2008.

His responsibilities will include overseeing sales of Road's full line from its locations in Phoenix, Tucson and Prescott, Ariz.

"I have been watching the positive direction that Road Machinery has been moving in for the last several years. The Komatsu name has been synonymous with quality dirt moving equipment for years, and now the edition of the full Wirtgen product line strengthens Road's market position even more," said Bjerke.

"Of course, the financial capabilities of the company, which includes the backing of Mitsui, cannot be overstated. I'm very glad to be back," he added.

Road Machinery has 14 locations in California, Arizona and New Mexico, and El Paso, Texas. A 17th location will open soon in Mohave, Calif., to service the newly developed Golden Queen gold mine operation.
