American Kenda Rubber has added a new marketing manager and sales/customer service representative to its team. Hayley Milne will join the Kenda’s American office as its marketing manger and Jin Daniels will take on a more sales and customer service-based role.

“We are excited to be growing with team members sharing the goal to accelerate Kenda’s strong sales and brand awareness in the PCR and LTR segment with premium performance at a value price,”  said Brandon Stotsenburg, Kenda’s vice president of its automotive group.

Milne comes from an extensive agency background with expertise in marketing, digital and brand development. In her new role, Milne will lead the strategic marketing efforts for Kenda’s automotive group to revitalize and grow the brand among customers, distributor and dealers.

Daniels has experience in logistics, customer management and safety while working in both corporate and small business settings.

“With our new Vietnam plant beginning to ship products to North America, we are pleased to add Jin to our team to help with our increasing customer demand for the Kenda products,” Stotsenburg said.

Kenda has additional tire production and new products supplied from Vietnam for its distributors and retailers and has expanded its Traction Dealer Network. The new Vezda Touring and Klever R/T tires, developed by the Kenda America Technical Center, will ship this spring.
