Ferrostaal Names New President

Ferrostaal Equipment Solutions North America has named Lionel Byron as the new company President. He replaces former President John Torrey.

Byron previously served as CFO of Ferrostaal Equipment Solutions North America, a post he has held since the company began U.S. operations in October 2011. Before that he had been in the printing industry for 18 years. He holds a Bachelors of Commerce degree from the University of Port Elizabeth in South Africa and is a South African Chartered Accountant.

Ferrostaal in North America holds the master distributorship of Ryobi printing presses and Shanghai Electric’s Shen Wei Da postpress equipment. The company has a network of 20 dealers across the U.S. and Canada.

The company also announced it has reduced its Houston headquarters and sales staff last week to an appropriate size because of the ongoing recession in the North American printing industry.
