Herr said, "It has been an honor and privilege to lead Morbark and be able to work with so many talented and dedicated individuals during my time here. I'm proud of what we've accomplished during this time and extremely optimistic about the future. Brad is an exceptional and proven leader, and I look forward to working with him to ensure a smooth transition and the business unit's continued success under his guidance."

Before joining Alamo Group, Boehler was president of the Skyjack Group, a major Canadian manufacturer of aerial lift equipment, including scissor lifts and telehandlers. During his 16 years at Skyjack, he led the company through a period of very high growth and performance improvement.
