According to the company, Staruch will be leading the aftermarket sales strategy development efforts for the MAHLE Aftermarket gasket offering – soon to be under the MAHLE Original brand for the first time – into targeted markets.
Staruch previously was with NGK Spark Plugs (U.S.A), where he was national manager – program distribution. He will report to Jon Douglas, general manager of MAHLE Aftermarket North America.
“Michael’s background is a perfect fit for helping grow sales of MAHLE Aftermarket gaskets to key segments of the aftermarket,” Douglas says.
“MAHLE Aftermarket has a legacy of providing a full line of OE quality gaskets with superior coverage to the independent aftermarket. This legacy approaches new heights now that these gaskets will soon be available under the MAHLE Original gasket brand.”
