Stellar Industries, a 100% employee-owned manufacturer of mechanic trucks, cranes, tire service trucks, hooklifts, trailers and service truck and van accessories, has announced the addition of three new regional sales managers to their sales team.
Eric Best joins to cover the North-Central region, taking over from Kirk Uhlenhopp. Best brings over 20 years of experience in sales and leadership, with a strong background in digital marketing. He has previously led a national sales team and managed a $20 million territory. Best, originally from Garner, Iowa, looks forward to contributing to the success of his hometown company. He currently resides in Chanhassen, Minnesota, with his family.
Kevin Ellis will manage the Northeast region. Ellis has a 28-year career in the truck equipment business, focusing on bucket and mechanic trucks. Previously, he served as a Sales Operations and Order Fulfillment Manager, excelling in managing inside sales and overseeing the quote process. Ellis, who is based in Edmond, Oklahoma, will be relocating to the Northeast to better serve the region.
Richard Holley takes over the Southwest region from Steve Jones. Holley, an experienced salesman of bucket trucks, is eager to understand and sell Stellar products while providing post-sale support to customers. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Holley enjoys hiking, golf, and pickleball in his personal time.
Uhlenhopp and Jones will remain with Stellar, transitioning to newly defined territories.
