Methods Machine Tools Inc. has promoted David Chesnutt to senior vice president of sales.
Chesnutt, most recently the general manager of Methods’ Southeast territory, assumes responsibility for all national product sales through Methods’ direct offices and dealer network. He who joined Methods in 1991, and has built a formidable team at the Charlotte office and a strong customer network in the Southeast, the company says. Upon Methods’ transition to sell direct in the region, Chestnutt was asked by then-CEO Clem McIver Sr. to join Methods. He initially ran the company’s Florida office and served as Nakamura-Tome product manager.
“David is an experienced and enthusiastic sales leader who has delivered customer success throughout his career in the machine tools industry,” says Rick Alton, Methods’ chief executive officer. “His successful sales record, support of countless customers and machining expertise have earned him industry-wide respect. David is the right person to lead our salesforce and help our customers succeed in our evolving industry.”
“For more than 65 years, Methods has provided world-class machine tools, the best engineering and automation and a commitment to customer service that runs deep through every part of our business — and we will not slow down,” Chestnutt says. “I am passionate about building on our legacy to benefit today’s manufacturers and those who will follow.”
