Continental Tire the Americas has made changes to its Commercial Vehicle Tire Division.
Thomas Fanning, previously director of OE sales, was named director of North American replacement sales, assuming the role held by Shaun Uys, who is returning to his home country of South Africa to pursue other opportunities within Continental’s rubber group.
Succeeding Fanning as director of OE sales is Wes Garber.
Garber will report to Peter Matzke, Continental’s global vice president of truck tire OE, and will continue in his role as chairman of the board of directors of GTY Tire Co., the joint venture between Continental, Toyo and Yokohama that is based in Mt. Vernon, Ill.
