SANY America has announced that veteran crane engineer Jeff Dreger will serve as senior manager, product and marketing support.

In his new position, Dreger will provide full marketing and technical support for reach stackers, crawler cranes and rough-terrain cranes. Before joining SANY America in March 2011, Dreger spent 35 years with Manitowoc Cranes.

“In his new position, Jeff will implement communication and technical support strategies that will allow us to serve our customers even faster,” said Kyle Nape, vice president of global sales and marketing.

SANY America markets excavators, port machinery, rough-terrain cranes and crawler cranes in North America. Last fall, the company announced it will build a $25 million R&D center alongside its 400,000 sq. ft. manufacturing headquarters in Peachtree City, Ga. When complete, the site will employ 300 hydraulic and mechanical engineers.
