Superior Industries names aftermarket VP

Morris, Minnesota-based Superior Industries Inc., a manufacturer and supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems for the aggregates sector, has announced the promotion of Kathy Johnson to the vice president of aftermarket position.

In her new role, Johnson will continue leading the company’s aftermarket services staff, which supports dealers and end users with parts sales, technical documentation and other customer service aspects.

“Kathy has a way of bringing people together to solve problems and make things better,” says Jason Adams, president of Superior Industries. “She’s a leader who listens first, isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty and never loses sight of what really matters—serving customers.”

Johnson has been with Superior for 13 years, bringing experience from prior work for technical publications. The company says she has played a key role in shaping its aftermarket efforts by improving support systems and “finding new ways to make life easier for everyone.”

The equipment producer says, “Service and support is about being there when it matters most, including “helping customers keep their equipment running, reducing downtime and solving problems quickly.”

The aftermarkets staff at Superior works closely with the firm’s dealer network to ensure parts are available, support is easy to reach and help arrives when it is needed, according to the company.

Superior Industries provides crushing, screening, washing and conveying systems for the aggregates sector, including recycled aggregates, from its 1 million square feet of manufacturing space at its Minnesota headquarters facility plus four additional production facilities in the United States and international manufacturing locations in Canada, Brazil and Asia.
