JCB North America appointed Tim Witter vice president of manufacturing. Witter will be responsible for JCB’s North American Manufacturing Center, which builds the company’s skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, the 3CX backhoe loader and the high-mobility engineer excavator.
Witter now oversees all of the Savannah, Ga.-based manufacturing departments including engineering, production, manufacturing, purchasing and logistics. He also oversees production control, manufacturing engineering, quality, new product introductions and provides direction for global production of JCB skid-steer and compact track loaders.
Witter joins JCB with extensive manufacturing experience including more than 18 years at Gorbel Inc., a handling solutions manufacturer where he was vice president of operations. He also worked as engineering manufacturer for Champion Products and director of operations at The Melton Shirt Co.
“Tim brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this critical manufacturing position, and we look forward to the contributions his expertise will bring to JCB as we continue to manufacture innovative, industry-leading construction and agricultural equipment.”
Witter is replacing Stuart Hughes, who returned to JCB’s global headquarters in Rocester, U.K., to take on a similar role.
