The Association of Equipment Manufacturers last week named two industry executives to the AEM board of directors.

Richard Pedtke, Ingersoll Rand Co. senior vice president, and president, compact vehicle technologies in West Fargo, N.D., and Craig Paylor, president of McConnellsburg, Pa.-based JLG Industries will join the AEM board.
