OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Inland Truck Parts Co., an independent provider of parts distribution and full-service truck repair, has promoted Greg Klein to president effective Jan. 1, 2015. Dave Scheer will remain CEO. Klein will be responsible for Inland’s strategic execution and will lead the company’s operations. A seasoned executive, he joined Inland as CFO in 1995 and was promoted to vice president in 2008. Both Scheer and Klein are longtime members of Inland’s board of directors.
“Greg knows Inland extremely well. His long tenure on our leadership team has more than prepared him for this promotion,” said Scheer. “As president, his continued dedication and commitment to our stakeholders will only make Inland stronger.
“Ownership here is 100 percent in the hands of our employees,” Scheer explained. “The president has a responsibility to ensure that each of our employee-owners is a top priority. After all, they are the ones who make things happen. No one understands that better than Greg.”
In addition to his role at Inland, Klein is the immediate past chairman of the Employee-Owned S Corporations of America (ESCA), where he works locally and in the nation’s capital to educate lawmakers on the importance and positive effects of employee ownership.
“Inland is a very special company, one that I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of for over 40 years,” said Scheer. “I’m certain that promoting Greg to president is the right move to continue our success.”
