Territory Manager Richard Pomponio will be responsible for sales in Pennsylvania and New York.
Territory Manager Douglas Mingst will responsible for sales in New Jersey, metro New York City, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.
As territory managers, the trio will be responsible for strengthening relationships with existing national accounts and developing new relationships with independent customers.
“I take pride in building strong relationships with people, and that is what I plan on doing in this position,” said Kidwell.
Pomponio added, “Skyjack has set an aggressive goal to grow considerably through product development and supporting the sales network. As a territory manager, I plan to help meet this goal in the best way possible.”
Mingst agrees, adding, “As the territory manager for the Mid-Atlantic region, I’m looking forward to selling a top product for a top manufacturer in the industry I know best.”
