US SHREDDER ADDS SHEPPARD TO STAFF
The US Shredder and Castings Group has announced that it has hired Barry Sheppard to the post of East Coast regional manager.
Sheppard is based out of Charlotte, N.C., and coordinates sales and service for the Mid-Atlantic states, New England and Eastern Canada. He previously served as regional sales manager for Metso Texas Shredder.
In addition to his equipment sales background, Sheppard also served as a Green Beret in the U.S. Army’s Special Forces.
"Barry had worked for me previously in the same capacity," US Shredder President Bill Tigner says. "He is a consistent and outstanding sales professional who understands the scrap customers’ needs."
Tigner adds that because of US Shredder and Castings Group’s increasing sales in the East, placing a regional manager had become a pressing demand.
The US Shredder and Castings Group, based in Brookhaven, Miss., offers complete scrap shredding systems as well as castings, service and consulting to the North and Central American scrap industry.
