Jeffrey Ratliff is the new director of sales and marketing of Takeuchi-US. Ratliff replaces Henry Lawson, who is retiring after six years with the compact equipment manufacturer.

Ratliff will be responsible for dealer sales development and national account business and activity in North America. His role includes helping Takeuchi-US achieve company market share objectives, including dealer sales, budgeting, asset management and inventory audits. Ratliff also will direct and manage Takeuchi's national rental accounts.

"I'm very pleased to be with a company that's so focused on delivering the best possible value to its customers," Ratliff said. "All over our office, you see signs saying to ‘Do what's right — the Takeuchi Way,'" and that's the mindset our entire team embraces every day. Our motto for 2025 is ‘Make Our Best Better.' We're focused on continuous improvement, and that's something I'm excited to be a part of."

Ratliff comes to Takeuchi-US with nearly 25 years of experience helping teams deliver new products and services to the market while simultaneously driving revenue growth, margin improvement and market share growth. Over the past two decades, Ratliff worked in the ag equipment industry, taking on increasing responsibilities in sales and product management, eventually becoming the marketing director for an international ag machinery manufacturer.

"Jeffrey has spent his career implementing solid marketing and sales principles within the equipment industry," said Jeff Stewart, president of Takeuchi-US. "He has a proven track record of building excellent teams who understand customer challenges and how to help those customers find the products that will best help them in their everyday lives. We're pleased to have him join the Takeuchi family, and I'm excited to see his positive impact on market share and overall growth."
