The move takes effect on August 1 and in his new role he will report to Manitowoc chief executive Glen Tellock who said: “Bob has been instrumental in helping to drive our recent financial success and operational improvements within the Crane segment. He brings demonstrated global leadership to the Manitowoc Foodservice organisation, in addition to his broad-based business and managerial expertise. We are thrilled to welcome Bob to his new position, and we are confident that his contributions to the business will be a seamlessly transferrable and valuable asset within the Manitowoc enterprise.”

While this is clearly a good career move for Hund who is more than capable of this new challenge, it will be a loss for the crane business. A highly intelligent executive, he has played a significant role in the introduction of new technology such as telematics systems that are beginning to play an increasingly important role in the after sales arena.
