ADDISON, IL — John Peterson has been named KYB America’s director of national accounts. Mike Howarth, KYB senior vice president, made the announcement.

Peterson has extensive aftermarket experience having worked in a variety of positions for Airtex, including most recently as national sales manager for both program groups and fields sales. In addition, he also established his own independent rep agency, which he ran for 10 years.

“We are very pleased that John has joined KYB,” said Howarth. “As our business continues to grow at a rapid rate, we needed to separate our national accounts and field sales functions in terms of leadership,” said Howarth.

In addition, Brian White will become director of field sales for North America. “As we continue to expand our distribution across the program groups and build our sales force, I believe that Brian and John will lead KYB to the next level,” Howarth said.
