Denso has named Jack Helmboldt president of its Denso Manufacturing Tennessee (DMTN) operations in Maryville, Tenn., effective June 19. This will be a dual role, as Helmboldt will continue to serve as corporate senior director for Denso Corp.
Helmboldt succeeds Yoshihiro "Van" Saka, who was reassigned to a Denso-affiliate company in Japan, where he will serve as president. Helmboldt is the first American to be named president of the Maryville operations.
Helmboldt has been with DMTN for 24 years, beginning as production manager in DMTN’s Instrument Cluster Division.
