Xantrex strengthens sales team

by Today's Trucking

Xantrex, a subsidiary of Mission Critical Electronics (MCE), has made several additions to its OEM and aftermarket channel sales team. The move correlates to growing sales and new Xantrex products entering the market.

“We’re expecting a big year for our inverters and inverter/charger products – many of which are offered as factory installs through our OEM truck partners,” said John Kalbfleisch, vice-president and general manager of Xantrex. “What is more, we’ve made a foray into energy storage and renewable power solutions. We now offer lithium-ion batteries and flexible solar panels designed specifically for trucking applications. We’re ready with a re-aligned sales force to help support our product and customer growth.”
