Prior to joining Bandit, Davis worked at Power Solutions International (PSI) and held various roles ranging from parts and sales to executive vice president of sales. While working at PSI, Davis supplied Bandit engines for over 20 years and was able to form a variety of relationships with Bandit employees, customers and dealers.

“Craig has demonstrated to me and the board that he is more than capable of managing and growing your company,” says former Bandit CEO Jerry Morey. “Craig has been a big part of our growth since joining Bandit in 2018. He is a tireless worker with good management and business skills, and has demonstrated those qualities in managing the sales, marketing and parts departments.”

In the news release announcing his appointment, Davis says, “There are going to be changes in 2024, but one thing that is not going to happen is change just for the sake of change. It will be well thought out and done with the sole purpose of making the company better today, tomorrow and for years to come.”

Davis is married with three children and is a 1995 graduate of the University of Illinois with a major in economics and a minor in marketing.
