Industry Veteran Jim Krueger Joins the Regal Team
Regal Marine Industries has announced that Jim Krueger will be Regal’s Mid-West Regional Sales Manager. Jim will bring his experience and industry perspective to the Regal Sales Team.
No stranger to the region, Jim was raised a Wisconsin native and sees the Mid-West as his roots. As a boating industry veteran, Jim started his career in 1971 at Cruisers, Inc. working in engineering as a draftsman. Through his history, Jim has worked for several of the top boat builders in North America, spending the last 15 years at Luhrs Group serving in many disciplines. Jim was part of the team credited for moving the Mainship brand at Luhrs from building cruiser-style boats back to its heritage of manufacturing traditional lobster boats and trawlers. Following this strategy, Mainship grew to be the largest manufacturer of trawler-style boats (by unit) in the world.
“I am so excited about my role at Regal,” Jim said, “Aside from the fabulously well made and innovative products, I feel like the whole Regal Team has direction and vision with great programs and support for the Regal Dealers. All together it makes Regal exceptionally competitive in the targeted market segments.”
“We are exceptionally pleased that Jim is now going to be the Regional Sales Manager in this very important territory,” offered Duffy Stenger, VP of Sales and Marketing, “We consider the Mid-West to be a strategic region as we continue to grow our brand.”
Jim will maintain an office at the Regal World Headquarters in Orlando, Florida. However, he will spend much of his time in his region assisting existing dealers and developing new relationships with dealers throughout the Mid-West.
