American LaFrance, manufacturer of the Condor LCF vocational chassis, has appointed three new regional managers. The company says it has been building its Condor sales and management team in recent months, after the Freightliner sale of American LaFrance and the Condor line to Patriarch Partners in March 2006. The new regional sales and service managers are Jim McKee in the Northeast, George Bowles in the central region and Walter vonDuhn in the Midwest.
“The addition of these three experienced and respected individuals reaffirms our commitment to the Condor product line,” says Jim Rogers, vice president of vocational sales and marketing for American LaFrance. “We will continue to build our team in the coming months while expanding our dealer network, enhancing our product and taking care of our growing customer base.”
American LaFrance, based in Lasdon, S.C., builds pumpers, aerial trucks, tankers and ambulances, as well as vocational chassis for fire and rescue apparatus and refuse vehicles. The Condor line was developed by American LaFrance in 1999, and manufactured under both the Sterling and Freightliner names prior to this year.
