Grote Industries and Star Safety Technologies have appointed Gunther Hochapfel as the new regional sales manager. Hochapfel has been working with safety and warning technology for 18 years.

"We are confident that Gunther's leadership and industry knowledge will propel our company to new heights," said Star Safety Technology's National Sales Manager Doug Richardson. "His appointment reaffirms our commitment to delivering cutting-edge safety solutions and unparalleled service to our clients."

With almost two decades of experience with safety and warning technology, Hochapfel has been a leader in innovation, technical knowledge, and sales in the industry. He played a key part in the Canadian marketplace's shift to LED warning lights, and his impressive role in the development of snowplow warning light programs across Canada is a perfect example of the commitment and connection to the country's market that he'll utilize as regional sales manager.
