Nugent will be responsible for developing and maintaining sales of new Deutz engines, Xchange remanufactured engines and genuine Deutz parts in the mining, construction, rental and ground support equipment (GSE) industries.

"I'm very excited to join Deutz, a company with such a long history of excellence in engine manufacturing and service," said Nugent. "I'm eager to get started and help bring Deutz products and services to more customers across the Americas."

Nugent comes to Deutz from his previous position as a sales manager at H-E Parts International, a division of Hitachi Construction.

"Shane's industry experience and background make him excellent addition to our sales team," said Jim Miller, senior business development manager of Deutz Corporation.
