Access platform manufacturer MEC Aerial Work Platforms, Kerman, Calif., has hired industry veteran Jim Dillon as its new operations manager.
Dillon first made his mark in the powered access industry with UpRight from 1986 to 1999. During his time at UpRight, Dillon served as general manager, president, and CEO while being the prime catalyst of the company’s success.
