Palo Duro Announces Staff Changes, North American Training

Following the acquisition of Palo Duro Hardwoods by Lägler Holdings, the parent company of Eugen Lägler GmbH, in 2015, and the promotion of Palo Duro’s Jeff Fairbanks to president, the company has announced further staff changes.

Tom Ruekert, who has served as sales manager at Palo Duro for several years, is now vice president of sales at Palo Duro.

Adam Williams has been hired as vice president of marketing for Palo Duro and Lägler North America.

Marc Schulz now has a leadership role in Lägler North America, and serves as liaison between Palo Duro and sister company Lägler GmbH.

“We are excited about the changes taking place at Palo Duro and Lägler, including making the necessary enhancements to our staff,” said Fairbanks in a statement. “We’re aligning our talents and technology with a fresh vision for Palo Duro and Lägler’s future.”

Next month, Lägler North America will begin offering its trademark Premium Sanding Training to complement the program offered at Lägler GmbH headquarters in Germany. Schulz will oversee the program, which offers hands-on training for contractors on Lägler sanding machines.
