Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. announced Wally Holst will be replacing Kenny Fredrick as the new director of sales for the eastern division.
Fredrick, who previously held the position, will be retiring after more than 10 years with the company.
Holst has 27 years in the tire industry and is returning to the Toyo team where he used to serve as the regional sales manager for car channel sales 11 years ago.
“Toyo Tires has always held a special place internally for me and I am excited to return,” says Holst.
“I look forward to rejoining Team Toyo as we collectively propel the company forward.”
“Toyo’s continued success in all product areas hinges on staffing leadership positions with individuals who understand the industry’s ever-changing landscape and needs of the customer base, areas in which Wally has excelled over his extensive career,” says Mike Snyder, vice president of sales for Toyo.
