GRI names Americas sales and marketing director

Maury Shnier has been appointed Sales and Marketing Director for the Americas at Global Rubber Industries (GRI). He comes to the company from Camso, where he was executive director of sales and operations within the firm’s Material Handling Aftermarket division in Canada and the USA.

A new GRI factory will officially open in January 2018, an event that will facilitate a further expansion of the company’s product portfolio within the agricultural and construction segments. Shnier will lead GRI’s efforts to expand its sales, distribution and dealer network to support the full scope of its broadened product offering across the Americas. In the US, his focus will be on agriculture and construction tyres, as GRI is already well-established in in the industrial tyre segment.

“I am excited to be joining the GRI team to help them reach the full potential of their sizable investments in new manufacturing capabilities,” said Shnier. “Having seen their existing products in the market and witnessed their strong relationships, I look forward to ensuring the company continues that momentum as it branches out into new products and territories.”
