The Shyft Group announced Carl Esposito as its newest addition to the company’s board of directors. Also, Ronald Harbour, 65, a member of the board since 2009, will retire as of the company’s May annual meeting of shareholders.

“We welcome Carl to the Shyft Group’s Board of Directors and look forward to his contributions,” said James Sharman, chairman of the board. “Carl’s longstanding business leadership in both innovation and electronics makes him a valuable addition to our board as Shyft continues to invest in R&D, particularly in electrification, to grow and add value for our shareholders.”
