Tri-Lift Industries has added three new shareholders and appointed new vice presidents as part of the company’s ownership change.

Brian Bond, Robert Bond and Kevin Bond will join the company’s executive team as Tri-Lift Industries rolls out a 10-year transition plan to ensure continual ownership.

Brian Bond will assume responsibility for the company’s parts and service operations, Robert will be in charge of all sales and marketing functions, while Kevin will oversee all information systems and fleet management.

Bob Bond, president of Tri-Lift Industries, says: “Karen and I are incredibly fortunate as small business owners to have the next generation of family members involved in the business. All three of our sons worked through high school, college and, since graduating from college, full-time for the company. Each has demonstrated the desire and capability to manage and grow the company through a variety of positions and departments over the years.

“We are incredibly proud and excited to be able to watch our sons grow into the leaders that will take the company into the future,” he adds.

The changes came into effect at the start of the month.
