Stallman has been with the company since 2005, most recently serving as general manager. He’ll oversee manufacturing, purchasing and overall daily operations at both the Howe and LaGrange, Ind., plants.

“I can think of no better person for this position than Jon,” Fought said. “With his background in engineering, he possesses a unique skillset in that he understands everything about our product from the chassis up, along with the ability to manage people and see the big picture on the direction of our growing company.”

The company said it will make the promotions effective immediately and plans an aggressive strategy for the near future.

“We’ve gained some strategic advantages over the past three years as we managed through a difficult economic climate, and now we plan to use what we’ve learned to take our company to the next level,” Fought said.
