After more than 20 years in the fleet industry, Jon J. Toups announced he will retire as President of Masterack. During his tenure, Toups helped the company more than triple its revenue and become a dominant player in the commercial vehicle upfitting market.
Toups led all Finance, Administration, Sales, Marketing, Human Resources, Engineering, and Operational responsibilities at all Masterack locations.
He joined Masterack with more than 20 years in senior and executive management roles for world-class organizations such as Pitney Bowes and as chief commercial officer of LeasePlan USA.
Toups is known for his passion for the fleet and commercial vehicle industry. He leaves behind a legacy of innovation, top-of-the-line engineering, and highly durable products. Under his leadership, Masterack has also become known for its best-in-class fleet installation capability through its ship-through facilities and trusted dealers.
"This success is not solely ours; it belongs to every employee, client, and partner who has been a part of our journey. As I depart, and because of all of you, I am confident in the bright future that lies ahead for Masterack," said Toups.
Masterack is grateful for Toups' leadership during a pivotal time for the company and wishes him all the best as he transitions to retirement.
