Gehl Appoints Telehandler Product Manager

Steve Kirst

March 22, 2007 • Gehl Co., West Bend, Wis., announces the appointment of Steve Kirst as product manager for Gehl telescopic handlers and asphalt pavers.

Kirst comes to Gehl with an extensive background in telescopic handler sales, having held key positions at SkyTrak and, more recently, JCB. Kirst will help drive the strategic direction of both product lines in terms of market positioning and future product initiatives.

 

“I am pleased to be joining Gehl Company,” Kirst said. “Over recent years, I have watched the consolidation of many of the telescopic handler companies. Gehl's telescopic handler position has grown and strengthened as it capitalized on the market uncertainty. Both prospective dealers and potential customers view Gehl as having a strong product range and respected brand in the market place.”
