Dirk Woestenenk, previously general manager at ETM, has joined the Doepker team as heavy haul division manager. The entire product line, including sliding tilt decks, lowbeds, crane dollies, jeeps, and boosters, will be manufactured and supported by Doepker and its 54 authorized distribution locations. "This is a great fit within the strategic growth plan of Doepker," says president and Chief Executive Officer Evan Doepker.
