Takeuchi-US adds regional manager

Atlanta-based Takeuchi-US has named Jeffrey Jacobsmeyer as its new Central Midwest regional business manager.

Jacobsmeyer’s duties will include dealer development and recruitment, inventory control, forecasting, promotions, sales planning and goal setting in the Central Midwest region, which consists of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

“Jeff’s career experience and industry knowledge make him a perfect fit for our regional business manager role at Takeuchi,” says Shay Klusmeyer, Takeuchi-US division sales manager for the Central and Western United States.

“From working as a product specialist to becoming a business development manager and even running his own contracting business, Jeff’s background makes him a great asset for Takeuchi in the Central Midwest Region. We’re very pleased to have him on our team.”

Jacobsmeyer, who will be based northwest of St. Louis, has served as a global product manager, sales manager and marketing manager within the compact equipment industry in the past 12 years. Prior to being part of the equipment sector, he owned and operated his own grading company.

“I’m fortunate to have experience in multiple dealership roles, as an end user customer and as a corporate representative for three global brands,” Jacobsmeyer says. “I’m excited to put my experience in product marketing, business management, sales and product support to work on behalf of an outstanding company like Takeuchi.”

Takeuchi offers a line of compact track loaders, compact excavators, compact wheel loaders and skid steer loaders, and as the first company to introduce the compact excavator to North America.
