Kinedyne Appoints New U.S. Sales Director
Michael Hauer will supervise all sales activities for NJ-based market leader in cargo control products
BRANCHBURG, NJ (July 1, 2010) – Kinedyne Corporation has appointed Michael Hauer as its United States Sales Director, effective July 1. In this role, Hauer will oversee all the New Jersey-based company’s day-to-day sales and marketing activities within the U.S. for the Retail, OEM, and Aftermarket Parts sectors.
Immediately prior to joining Kinedyne – the world leader in cargo control products for the trucking and transport industry – Hauer was a Director of Sales for Wabash National Corporation’s Duraplate Products Group in Lafayette, IN, and a Regional Director for New Trailer Sales. Previously, he held a Director of Sales position with Cleveland, OH-based Stanley Works, a global supplier of tools, hardware, and assembly systems.
During the course of Hauer’s career at Stanley, he compiled an impressive record of sales achievements, including the Chairman’s Award, and was a member of the prestigious President’s Club. He directed the company’s sales activities throughout the Americas, as well as in Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
“Michael’s extensive and varied background in a number of global markets makes me confident he will have a dramatic impact on our sales goals,” says Larry Harrison, Kinedyne’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “His experience in strategic sales management, culture-based program selling, and brand awareness, plus his professional presence and engineering background will only serve to enhance our current level of success.”
A graduate of Kettering University (Flint, MI) with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Hauer’s educational background provides him a particularly strong understanding of the technical aspects of Kinedyne’s broad product line, and will position him to be instrumental in the company’s global product development efforts.
