Kinedyne Appoints New National Accounts Manager

Thirty-year commercial transport industry veteran Terry O'Connor assumes new strategic role.

BRANCHBURG, N.J. – Kinedyne Corp. has appointed Terry O’Connor as national accounts manager, effective immediately. Kinedyne is a leading provider of cargo control products for the trucking and transport industry.

In this newly created position, O’Connor will partner with large, heavy duty aftermarket parts distributors to increase sales of the company’s products, solidify marketing opportunities and further develop the company’s business with these strategic accounts.

A veteran of more than 30 years in the commercial transport industry, O’Connor joined Kinedyne in 2005 as an account manager covering the southeastern region of the United States. Before joining the company, O’Connor’s career path included positions of diverse and increasing responsibilities with Great Dane Trailer, Utility International, New Life Transport and Hutchens Industries.

“I’m confident Terry’s extensive industry experience will help us in our efforts to increase Kinedyne’s visibility with large national accounts,” said Mike Hauer, Kinedyne’s director of sales for the U.S. market. “He is a senior member of our sales team and, as a result, brings a wealth of knowledge about our company, products and the industry that will help strengthen our relationships with these strategic accounts.”
