Associated Equipment Distributors has named Brian McGuire its new president and CEO, replacing Toby Mack who recently left the organization to head the Energy Equipment & Infrastructure Alliance. McGuire, who will take over the position Jan. 6, was most recently president of the Tooling and Manufacturing Association, based in Park Ridge, Ill.

McGuire has a broad professional background in trade associations with a record in public policy advocacy, membership growth, training and educational services.

“We are about to enter a new chapter of AED with renewed energy,” said Mike Quirk, 2013 AED chairman and vice president of operations at Wagner Equipment Co. “Brian is an association professional whose experience and talents are a wonderful match with the member needs of AED. We’re looking forward to moving in an innovative, service-oriented direction under his leadership.”

McGuire is the former senior regional manager of Illinois and Wisconsin for the National Association of Manufacturers, based in Washington, D.C. He also worked for a combined eight years for Illinois state Senator Steve Rauschenberger, as a political consultant and chief of state.

McGuire is also the top elected officer of his community, serving as Hanover Township town supervisor for 99,000 residents and responsible for a treasury of $12 million.

“I’m looking forward to getting acquainted with all of AED’s constituencies — dealer members, manufacturers and industry service suppliers, as well as the professionals who comprise the AED staff in Oak Brook,” said McGuire. “Together, we’re going to continue the mission of providing outstanding resources to support distributor profitability, and we’ll identify new approaches for ensuring the future strength of the dealer model in the construction equipment industry.”

McGuire is only the third AED president/CEO in the past six decades. He will be introduced to the entire AED membership at the 2014 Summit & CONDEX, Jan. 15-17 in Houston.
