Toyo’s Weinger Retires

Following a career with Toyo Tire U.S.A spanning 28 years, Steve Weinger has announced his retirement. Weinger joined Toyo in 1982 after more than nine years with Michelin, and was initially employed in the commercial product side of the company as Fleet Promotions sales manager. Later he became the national director of Truck Tire Sales and progressed to ultimately take on the position of senior vice president of Sales & Marketing. Toyo comments that, while serving in that capacity, he implemented programmes which resulted in record increases in overall sales.

One such effort, notes the tyre maker, was the introduction of ‘mass appeal’ passenger car products for the Toyo Tires brand.  Weinger was one of two employees to receive an award from the company for the development and sales of the Toyo Spectrum passenger car tyre.  This led to a variety of products, including the Versado range.

“The Toyo Tires family wishes to thank Steve Weinger for his years of service and contributions to the company,” said Yasushi Takagi, president and CEO, Toyo Tire U.S.A. “He has left a proud legacy with the company and we wish Steve the very best for a relaxing and enjoyable retirement.”
