Perkins Engines Names

Howsmon New President

Roger Howsmon

Roger L. Howsmon has been named as the new president of Per- kins Engines, Inc., a major supplier of diesel engines in the U.S. and

Canada and part of the worldwide

Perkins Engines Group based in

Peterborough, England.

The announcement was made by

John F. Devaney, managing di- rector of the Perkins Engines

Group, which is a major division of

Massey-Ferguson, Ltd., of Toronto,

Canada.

Mr. Devaney said that Mr.

Howsmon joins Perkins at a time when the company is dramatically increasing its North American oper- ations. Perkins, which has long been the dominant supplier of diesel en- gines in the 51 to 300-horsepower range in the U.S. and Canada, re- cently expanded its product line to range from 3Vi to 1,200 horsepow- er.

The expansion includes the ac- quisition of the former Rolls-Royce

Diesel Engine Division product line, which was introduced into North

America last year.

Mr. Howsmon joins Perkins from Cummins Engine Company's largest independent distributorship in North America, Cummins West

Inc., based in San Francisco, Calif., where he was vice president, mar- keting.

He was educated at Miami Uni- versity in Oxford, Ohio, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science de- gree in Business Administration. He was also a captain in the United

States Air Force before joining

Cummins Engine Company in 1971.

During his business career he held a number of sales and marketing positions with Cummins and was a corporate vice president, sales and service for North America prior to his appointment in 1983 as vice president-marketing, Cummins

West, Inc.

As president of Perkins Engines,

Inc., Mr. Howsmon will be respon- sible for the further development of

Perkins's interests in North Ameri- ca and Canada. Since its formation in 1960, Perkins, based in Wayne,

Mich., has become a leading sup- plier of light and medium-duty die- sel engines, and today there are more than one million Perkins en- gines in operation in the U.S. and

Canada.

He succeeds Bill Winemaster, who recently retired from Perkins

Engine, Inc. Mr. Winemaster, af- ter spending over 25 years with Per- kins, the last 12 as president, is launching a new Perkins distribu- torship in the Great Lakes area.

The Perkins Engines Group is world leader in the design and man- ufacture of diesel engines. The com- pany reached a milestone late last year, becoming the first diesel en- gine manufacturer to produce 10 million engines. It engines are man- ufactured or assembled in 16 coun- tries of the world and sold in more than 160. Total worldwide produc- tion of Perkins engines is around 400,000 a year.
