Bridgestone’s North American agri boss retires

Bridgestone Americas reports that Kenneth Allen, president of Bridgestone Agricultural Tire, U.S. & Canada Commercial Tire Sales, retired on 30 June after leading the division for more than six years. Kurt Danielson, President, U.S. & Canada Commercial Tire Sales, is leading the division until a successor is named.

“Highly regarded in the industry, Ken led the realignment of our Agricultural business in recent years,” said Danielson. “His leadership and commitment has been instrumental in turning around our agricultural tyre business, guiding the development of several key agricultural tire products and helping us to deliver industry-leading service to our customers. We are grateful for Ken’s many contributions over the last decade and he will be missed.”
