Palmer Johnson Power Systems last week named Craig Parsons president. The position had been vacant since the partial retirement of former president Gary Sorg in 2004. Parsons had served as general manager during this period.

Parsons has primarily been focused on the growth of Palmer Johnson’s service business. He has promoted the development of the company’s outside sales force, refocused the company’s marketing activities and has worked to add service capabilities throughout the Palmer Johnson service network, including the construction of the company’s remanufacturing center in Sun Prairie, Wis.
