In his new position, Winkler will be responsible for leading new engine sales efforts throughout the large Deutz Power Center Mid-America territory, which expands south from the Dallas area to Houston, Midland-Odessa and across the south central United States.

"We're delighted to have Mike join our new team in the Dallas area," said Dominick "Nick" Vermet, vice president of Power Center operations for DEUTZ Corporation.

By hiring him, we're demonstrating our commitment to this region, and we know he will be an excellent addition to our team there."
