Vertikal Comment

The appointment of McDougall, a senior Linamar executive, to head up its industrial division in 2006 and then Skyjack in 2007, was an inspired choice and demonstrated the group’s long term interest in the aerial lift manufacturer.

Thanks to Skyjack’s strong senior management team which is arguably the most stable and experienced of any major aerial lift manufacturer, has allowed McDougall to take on the additional duties in Mexico at very short notice.

McDougall was always destined for a more senior role within Linamar, the benefit of the current move is that while he takes a step upwards, he is able to retain his role and responsibilities for Skyjack.
