Heller Group, Nürtingen, Germany, has appointed Keith Vandenkieboom as president and CEO of Heller Machine Tools, Troy, Mich., after the retirement of Robert Pelachyk. Vandenkieboom was previously vice president of operations and will retain those responsibilities.
In making the announcement, Manfred Maier, Heller Group COO, said the new appointment will ensure a smooth transition and seamless continuation of the company’s policies and operations in the NAFTA market. Maier also thanked Pelachyk for his service to Heller Group over the past seven years, during which time the company’s U.S. operation booked its highest ever sales.
“In North America alone, Heller has installed more than 1,000 machine tools in the last few years, and we intend to expand, maintain, and grow our ability to fully support Heller customers and help them maximize productivity,” Maier said.
