Automated forklift safety and fleet management system company ELOKON has promoted Mark Stanton to president and general manager for North America.
Alex B. Johns, ELOKON’s national sales director since 2021, will take over Stanton’s role as vice president of sales for the region.
Stanton joined ELOKON in May 2023, bringing more than 25 years of experience in the materials handling industry, extensive knowledge of forklift fleet management and forklift safety systems and an impressive track record of driving growth and innovation.
The company says during his eight-month tenure Stanton increased sales by 30% and doubled the size of the ELOKON team.
“We expected big things from Mark when we brought him on to lead our sales team in North America last May, and he most definitely delivered,” says
ELOKON chief executive Alexander Glasmacher.
“His extensive knowledge of forklift fleet management and safety systems, combined with strong leadership skills and an unparallelled strategic vision, has already resulted in higher sales and stronger employee morale.
