Peddie has more than 20 years of experience in the automotive aftermarket, and joins the company with considerable expertise in both sales and marketing. Peddie and his family have relocated to Chattanooga from Delafield, Wisconsin.
“We are pleased to have Ed and Jon join the Remington team,” said Remington Industries CEO Tim Parkes. “This is an exciting time for the company, and Ed and Jon are particularly suited to develop and grow the programs in their departments, while contributing to the business as a whole.”
In addition to the new executive hires, Parkes has assumed the duties of president as well as CEO, and Lisa Moses has moved to the position of executive vice president of marketing and product management.
