Fuchs expands focus in North America
Fuchs®, German manufacturer of specialist material handling equipment, is deepening its
commitment to North America with the addition of three new sales professionals to its team.
This move is part of Fuchs' broader effort to enhance customer engagement and support
throughout the region, drawing on the extensive knowledge, expertise, and engineering
expertise from its manufacturing centre of excellence in Germany.
"North America remains a vital market for Fuchs, driven by increased demand in key sectors
such as ports, logging and scrap recycling, where we have focused our product development
efforts in recent years," said Andreas Ernst, General Manager Material Handling and Lifting
Americas, Terex. "By strengthening our sales team in North America, we are dedicated to
providing the best support to our distributors, who in turn can provide the best customer
experience in the field.”
Leading the Fuchs North American team is newly appointed Gregory Wiese, Sales Director
for Fuchs North America. Gregory brings a wealth of experience from his previous roles at
Pacific Floorcare and Nilfisk Inc., where he excelled in distribution development and crafting
successful marketing and servicing strategies. He will oversee sales and business
development for Fuchs across the United States and Canada, ensuring that strategic
objectives are met.
Joining Gregory are Caleib Lynch, appointed as Southeast Regional Sales Manager, and
Larry Lehmann, appointed as Northeast Regional Sales Manager. Caleib, with his extensive
background in the construction equipment and attachment sector—most recently with GRYB
Manufacturing—will play a key role in enhancing customer support and facilitating
communication between Fuchs, its distributors, and customers in his region. Larry brings
over 10 years of industry experience, including his recent role at a scrap metal recycling
company, where he managed demolition contracts and site operations. His deep knowledge
and established relationships in the scrap and recycling segments make him a valuable
asset to the Fuchs team in the Northeast region.
These new appointments join the existing Fuchs North American sales team, which includes
John VanRuitenbeek, Regional Sales Manager for the West Coast US and Western Canada,
and Joel Hardy, Regional Sales Manager for the North Central US and Eastern Canada.
"We are pleased to welcome Gregory, Caleib, and Larry to our team, alongside John and
Joel," concluded Andreas Ernst. "Through their deep regional knowledge, our sales team will
closely collaborate with our distributors across the North America, offering tailored product
recommendations and support to maximise the utilisation and uptime of Fuchs equipment—
all supported by the unmatched German engineering precision that Fuchs is known for
worldwide."
