Phillips Industries has hired Jeffrey McKeown in the new position of OEM trailer and technical sales manager.
Prior to joining Phillips Industries, McKeown most recently was director of OEM and fleet sales at Tectran. His OEM commercial vehicle industry experience also includes several years at Haldex, managing their trailer OEM segment. By utilizing his extensive air brake and ABS knowledge, he contributed to the significant market share growth of both companies.
In addition to these positions, McKeown has a solid background in the aftermarket industry, in both the U.S. and Canada, with Midland Grau and Stone Heavy Duty, a founding HD America member.
In his new position, McKeown will rely on his experience, his industry knowledge, and his relationships to support Phillips Industries’ aggressive product and technology innovation plans to introduce new solutions to the trailer OEM segment.
“Jeff brings so much to Phillips – not only his technical and industry knowledge, but also his passion and commitment to our industry,” says Rob Myers, director of sales. “Our business has been built on family values, hard work and listening to our customers; Jeff will make his mark here.”
