Wabash National Corp., North America’s leading producer of semi-trailers and liquid transportation systems, appointed Brent Yeagy president and chief operating officer, effective Oct. 1.

In addition, Yeagy — currently group president of the commercial trailer products business — was named to the board of directors, the Lafayette, Indiana-based company said.

Effective simultaneously with Yeagy taking his new position, Dick Giromini will step down as president. He will continue to serve as CEO and as a board member, Wabash said.

“Our strategy to diversify and grow the business over these past several years has been highly successful, enabling us to deliver record performance each of the past four years," Giromini said in a statement. "This appointment puts into place an enhanced leadership structure that will more effectively support our expanded and more diverse group of businesses.”
