Western's founder, Harry Neumann Jr. will transition into the role of director of sales and business development. 

Ben Schnakenberg will assume the role of president.

All other members of the team will be retained, including Western co-founder Tim Tyler, who will continue to provide consultation to support the company's growth.

"Western's experienced team, exceptional design and engineering capabilities, and turnkey value proposition have been the foundation for its success," Schnakenberg says.
