Great Dane Trailers has reorganized its management structure as part of an ongoing process aimed at accelerating future growth. The organizational changes are as follows:
- Jim Pines has been promoted to executive vice president of sales and operations and will continue to oversee all sales activities.
- Rick Mullininx, a 28-year Great Dane veteran, has been promoted to executive vice president of engineering and will oversee that department and product development.
- Dean Engelage has been hired to fill the role of executive vice president strategic planning and administration.
- Jim Petrarca will take over as chief financial officer.
These executives will work with Sam Gupta, senior vice president of manufacturing, and Bill Crown, president and CEO to comprise an executive committee responsible to the board for all operations and planning at Great Dane Trailers.
“Great Dane has a strong leadership team clearly focused on delivering superior value to our customers through the solid operation and strategic growth of the company,” says Crown. “I’m pleased today to confirm the transition of responsibilities from retiring Great Dane President, Phill Pines, and to announce a new organizational structure that capitalizes on the strengths of the team, and reflects the continued growth and evolution of the company.”
