Thor Industries has appointed Mark Trinske as vice president of investor relations. In this role, Trinske will be responsible for all aspects of Thor’s investor relations program.
“We are pleased to welcome Mark Trinske as our new vice president of investor relations,” said Bob Martin, Thor president and CEO. “As Thor has grown, we realize the importance of proactive engagement with our investors and the impact those efforts have on enhancing shareholder value. Mark brings a strong set of skills and experience in the leisure, automotive and manufacturing space that will be essential to success in bringing Thor’s IR team to the next level.”
Trinske will assume his role effective Nov. 19, and will relocate to Elkhart, Ind., to work from Thor’s headquarters. Immediately before joining Thor, Trinske was the VP of investor relations for SeaWorld Entertainment in Orlando, Fla. Previously, he held investor relations positions at EZCORP, a consumer finance company based in Austin, Texas, Norit, N.V. a Netherlands-based company, and Affinia Group, a $3 billion automotive parts company based in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Trinske holds an undergraduate degree from Arizona State University and an MBA from the University of Michigan.
“Having spent more than two decades working in a variety of investor relations roles,” said Trinske, “my experience in building relationships with investors and analysts along with my perspective in broader industry trends will be helpful as we share the Thor story.”
Thor also announced that Jeff Tryka, former director of investor relations, would be acting in a consulting role to assist in the transition. Investors interested in holding a call to discuss the company’s upcoming fiscal 2019 first-quarter earnings announcement on Dec. 6 may e-mail either Trinske or Tryka to schedule a call.
