FLORENCE, Ky., April 9, 2018 – As Mazak Corporation continues to make North American shops more productive with its advanced manufacturing technology, the company has leveraged its rising sales to further support the growth of its customers across the continent. To meet North American manufacturers’ ever-changing needs, Mazak has made organizational changes aimed at empowering customers with Rock Solid services and support.
Chuck Birkle, who will continue in his role as vice president of sales and marketing, will oversee the Midwest, Southwest, West and Mexico regions. Greg Papke will manage the North Central, Northeast and Southeast regions and play a greater role in the marketing of Kentucky-produced models. Terry Peer, previously sales manager for Southern Ohio, will replace Papke as general manager for the North Central region.
“Chuck, Terry and Greg are all homegrown talent who’ve spent most or all of their careers with Mazak,” said Dan Janka, president of Mazak Corporation. “They’ve grown along with the company, and they’re fully supportive of our concepts, ideas and dedication to our customers. We feel confident that with these changes, we have an even stronger team, one that can create more opportunities for our North American customers.”
