Tom joins Waukesha after serving as Vice President of North America Manufacturing at a leading manufacturer of indoor and outdoor cleaning solutions and specialty coatings. Prior to this position, Tom provided leadership for a manufacturer of agricultural tractors, combines and construction equipment where he held increasingly responsible positions including two Vice President positions. “Tom’s manufacturing management experience will be an ideal fit for our company in this time of increasing demand and business growth,” says Laurie Smaglick Johnson, Waukesha’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “We all look forward to continuing our tradition of building strong customer alliances and providing superior quality products and services with Tom at the helm.”
