Bell joined TBEI in 2013 as Vice President of Sales and Marketing for all TBEI brands. With more than 27 years of experience in the industry, he has deep expertise in management, sales and marketing, lean manufacturing/5s, and organizational development. Prior to joining TBEI, Bell held management roles of increasing responsibility at Fontaine Fifth Wheel Company and Heil Environmental Industries, Limited.
“Henry has been an asset and leader since joining TBEI,” said Bob Fines, vice president/general manager of TBEI. “We are looking forward to his new role at Ox Bodies and know he will put forward the same standards of excellence.”
Ray Salley, the former Ox Bodies General Manager, retired at the end of August. Bell’s experience, coupled with his existing knowledge of the Ox Bodies brand, will equip him for continuing success as he takes the reins of Ox Bodies, according to the company.
