To support current and planned growth initiatives in US target markets, Mustang Survival is pleased to announce that Michael Grupa will be transitioning from his current role as Director of Business Development, Professional, to join the Sales team as Director of Sales – US Professional & Military Major Accounts. Grupa joined Mustang Survival in 2009 and has been instrumental in shifting Mustang’s focus from selective markets in the first responder and commercial/ industrial marine categories to becoming an industry leader and full-line supplier of flotation and thermal protection products in these market categories.
 
Also driven by shifting conditions in the recreational market, Mustang is announcing that Brian Milligen has been promoted from Canadian National Sales Manager to Director of Sales, US Recreation & Canada Recreation/Professional markets.
 
“Our sales team will benefit from Mike’s many years of experience and background in the professional and military markets while Brian builds upon his success and momentum in Canada and helps us focus our efforts on growing and expanding Mustang’s network of recreational dealers south of the border,” commented Glen MacPherson, Mustang Survival’s Vice President, Sales. “This organizational shift is part of our long term strategy to strengthen the brand in core markets, manage channels more effectively, and achieve revenue growth targets north and south of the border.”
 
“It is a pleasure to work with such a devoted team as Mustang Survival,” said Milligen, “I consider it a great honour to now be able to contribute to this team north and south of the border.”
