Forest City Gear recently announced the appointment of new sales representatives and additional territories for several existing reps, effective immediately.  President Wendy Young, in making this announcement, remarked, “Our growth in the last several years has been substantial and we determined it was necessary to expand our field sales force.  After considerable effort and an exhaustive search, we are very pleased with the new team.”  Young also noted these additions were particularly challenging, as the highly customized nature of Forest City Gear’s business base requires the sales force to have a keen knowledge of gear manufacturing, application engineering assistance and customer service through an often lengthy buy cycle.  The following new sales representatives are now handling Forest City Gear in the states shown: Joseph Kemple for Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, south of Route 30; Stephen Peterson for Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota; Curt Nicholson for Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and southern California; Dennis Young for northern Illinois. The following existing reps have been re-assigned to cover these states: Jim Hagen for Washington, Oregon and Idaho; Stu Glasby for Pennsylvania, upper New York and southern New Jersey; Bob Rundle for northern New Jersey, lower New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
