MORGAN HILL, Calif., PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Coast Distribution System, Inc. announced it has named Bryan Fletcher as senior vice president and head of its Husky Towing Products line. Fletcher's responsibilities include setting the overall strategic direction of Husky, including building their customer base.
As head of the entire Husky Towing division and principal contact for all suppliers and customers, he will handle product management and development, oversight of the Husky technical team, and the Husky portion of the new design and test center in Elkhart, Ind.
Fletcher has more than 18 years of experience in the towing industry. Prior to joining Coast, he served as president and chief operating officer for Valley Industries of Lodi, Calif., a leading manufacturer of towing products and long-time partner of Coast.
A proprietary brand for towing products, Husky has been distributed by Coast for more than 10 years. The line is sold throughout North America to recreational and outdoor products dealers.
