wai-kelvin-gohWAI has named Kelvin Goh as the company’s global corporate controller.

Goh joined WAI in November, and has extensive leadership experience spanning more than 12 years across various industries. Goh comes to WAI from Columbus McKinnon Corp., where he served as the director of finance for its Asia Pacific Division. He holds a Master of Business Administration from Columbia Business School and also holds CFA and CPA designations.

In his new role, Goh will lead WAI’s business and financial objectives. “I’m happy to start a new challenge with WAI and look forward to working with the finance team to further improve financial goals,” said Goh. “I am fortunate to be joining such a respected company that prides itself on innovation and creativity for the aftermarket.”

Deena Lee, senior vice president of finance and process improvement, said, “Due to WAI’s rapid business development outside of the United States, in addition to our continued manufacturing expansion in Asia, Mr. Goh is a strong fit to help us achieve our immediate growth plans. Kelvin’s wealth of experience and financial knowledge has made him an essential addition to the WAI team.”

WAI recently opened a 300,000-square-foot production site in Pinghu, China, to expand their capacity in rotating electrical and engine management parts. The site also will serve as a distribution center for the Asian Pacific region. Two years ago, WAI expanded its European footprint by opening an additional distribution and technical center in Poland to complement the already existing sites in the Netherlands and the U.K.
