Takeuchi-U.S., a manufacturer of compact
equipment based in Pendergrass, Georgia, has announced it named Austin Smith the
national account sales representative, effective immediately. Smith’s main
responsibilities include sales and support of national account customers across
the U.S. and Canada.

athletic fields in the metro Atlanta area. Additionally, Smith established and
maintained relationships with clients, wrote proposals and pitched services to
current and prospective clients.
“Coming in with a
great deal of in-the-field experience and knowing and operating compact
equipment firsthand made it an easy choice to bring Austin onboard,” says Scott
Place, Takeuchi’s director of national accounts. “Austin is a go-getter and
very knowledgeable, which will be a perfect fit to call on our national account
customers. We are excited to welcome him to our team.”
