Dana Holding Corp. on Monday, June 25, announced numerous actions to strengthen its North American field sales and service organization. Focused on more than 4,000 commercial-vehicle OEMs and dealerships across the United States, Canada and Mexico – including those previously supported under Dana’s Roadranger alliance with Eaton Corp. – Dana’s field sales and service organization today numbers nearly 100 professionals.
In the coming weeks, Dana will increase touch points with customers through localized inventory to support down trucks, new training resources, a dedicated call center, a user-friendly Website and other enhanced customer interfaces.
“We’ve made a significant investment to strengthen our capabilities and deploy a dedicated, experienced team equipped with the tools to quickly and effectively maximize customer productivity and put more pay in their loads,” said Mark Wallace, president of On-Highway Driveline Technologies at Dana.
Dana’s commercial-vehicle field sales and service organization is led by Jim Kahut, director of sales for aftermarket, and Mike Schwanzl, senior manager, North American field sales, responsible for facilitating effective and responsive communication with customers at every level.
“This sharper focus on customer satisfaction will allow Dana to better understand the needs of fleet operators, bringing drivetrain solutions to market more quickly,” Wallace said. “Industry-leading warranties, an enhanced focused platform of service and support, innovative new tools and a steadfast dedication for increasing fuel efficiencies and reducing emissions all help to solidify Dana’s longstanding commitment to the commercial-vehicle market.”
