WABCO Fluid Power Adopts Worldwide Sales And Marketing Strategy

American-Standard, Inc. has combined its U.S. and European WABCO Fluid Power operations and has reassigned management responsibilities to strengthen the firm's international fluid power business.

"We're combining the sales, marketing, product planning, engineering and manufacturing for Europe and the U.S. into one operating division," says Art Ticknor, American-Standard vice president and group executive, industrial products. "Dr. Henry Kedzierski, vice president of the group and divisional general manager, heads the restructured WABCO Fluid Power Division." A new international function, directed by William Howe, vice president-international of the group, is designed to develop worldwide sales and marketing strategies for all WABCO fluid power products. The goal is increased market penetration, especially outside of the U.S., Canada and Western Europe.
