Tsurumi Pump has strengthened its US operations with the appointment of four executives to its leadership team through internal promotions.
The company welcomed the appointments as a step towards continuing its growth in the key US market. Chris Bristol has been promoted to the chief executive officer of Tsurumi (America) after initially joining the company in 2021 as municipal product sales manager.
Bristol will be joined on the executive team by Hideaki Wada as chief operating officer, Ben Rieboldt as chief sales officer and Alex Webb as chief financial officer.
“We at Tsurumi America look forward to continuing to provide our customers with the best products and exceptional customer service,” Bristol said following his appointment.
Wada joins after working in the company’s international sales division in Japan and a stint as the company’s managing director in Hong Kong where he focused on major infrastructure projects. Reiboldt was one of the first employees of Tsurumi (America), joining in 1985 and working across its engineering, operations, and procurement teams in the intervening years. Webb’s promotion to the team also comes after more than a decade working with Tsurumi.
