The Board of Directors for Jorgenson Industrial Companies announced that Jared Peterson has been appointed President of its JMT USA division following Kyle Jorgenson's recent resignation. Jared Peterson has worked as the Service & Operations Manager at JMT for the past eleven years. In that position he worked closely with both JMT customers and machine tool suppliers. "Jared has been in this industry for over twenty years and has built a solid reputation of integrity," said a company spokesperson. "We are excited to announce Jared's appointment and are completely confident in his abilities to assume leadership of our JMT USA division. He is well respected throughout the machine tool industry and the entire Jorgenson organization. His extensive knowledge of the industry, his hands-on machine tool application experience and his commitment to our organization, staff, vendors and customers will help the company move forward. His many accolades and wealth of experience made this an obvious and easy choice," said company co-owner, Dustin Jorgenson. According to the company, for the past five years JMT has been on a strong growth trajectory, expanding from a regional to a national supplier. Best known for sheet metal equipment with a focus on press brakes and plate rolls, JMT has expanded its product line to include fiber lasers and structural drill lines. Assisting Peterson in the day-today operations will be Rob Yorgason, who was appointed General Manager of JMT in September, 2014. Also supporting Peterson is a team of experienced people in sales, service, parts and logistics, including industry veterans Ken Bartelli as National Sales Manager and Matt Bollinger as Purchasing & Logistics Manager.
