Alliance Tire Americas, Inc. (ATA) announced several new hires—including a new Agricultural Product Manager—as the company continues expanding its sales, engineering and logistics team across North America.

“We’re building staff in areas that matter to our customers, from sales and customer service to our warehouse teams,” says Bruce Besancon, Alliance’s Vice President of Marketing. “We are continually building our capacity to get Alliance, Galaxy, Primex and Aeolus tires to them faster and more efficiently, then follow up with outstanding service in the field.”

 The new Alliance Tire team members include:

• Trent Wallin (pictured to the right), Agricultural Product Manager, who will split his time between the company’s Wakefield, Massachusetts, headquarters and an office in Indianola, Iowa.
• Mark Hipkins, Warehouse Manager, Memphis, Tennessee.
• Ross Crory, Supply Chain Analyst, Wakefield, Mass.
• Lee Janerico, Customer Service Representative, Wakefield, Mass.

Wallin spent the past eight years on the national ag sales team of Tyres 4 U, Australia’s leading independent tire distributor. There, he gained experience in all aspecis of the farm tire industry, including sales, marketing, tire testing and technical support for farmers in the field. Ultimately, he rose to the company’s National Sales Manager for Agricultural Tires before joining Alliance Tire in the U.S.

 “Trent’s experience in agriculture and in the tire business are the perfect combination for his role with us,” says Besancon. “In his role as Agricultural Product Manager, he will assist in the development of new products as well as promoting and developing the current line of high-tech agricultural tires that the Alliance Tire Group has developed for the North American market.”

With the latest expansion of its team, Alliance continues its trajectory as one of the world’s fastest growing off-highway tire companies.
