Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. has recently hired two new managers for its sales team. Jerry Taylor of Mabelvale, Ark. now serves as district manager of Division 1, a territory which covers much of the western United States. Marc Sanzenbacher of Tampa, Fla. is the company’s new Division 2 UHP sales manager, being responsible for much of the southern U.S.

“We are pleased to both welcome Jerry Taylor back to Toyo, and to welcome Marc Sanzenbacher to our family,” says Armand Allaire, vice president of sales. “Both will be great assets to our team, improving Toyo’s ability to sell products and to further service our valuable clients in key markets.”

Taylor previously worked with Toyo from 2000-‘02 as a district sales manager for the company’s Division 2. More recently, he owned Tuner & Off Road in Benton, Ark. Taylor has more than 15 years of sales and service management in tires, wheels, custom accessories and the custom car restoration industry. He has accumulated key experience in marketing, advertising, inventory management and most elements of running a tire business from small to large tires. He is relocating from Arkansas in order to serve his new territory.

Sanzenbacher brings more than ten years of high performance sales and management experience with key automotive dealerships. His industry experience includes serving as motorsports director for the Bert Smith Euro Collection, a German-car dealership in St. Petersburg, Fla. He was responsible for the development and day-to-day operations of the dealership’s in-house performance and accessory department for the Porsche, BMW, and Volkswagen marquees.

More recently, Sanzenbacher worked for Bill Heard Enterprises in the role of performance division director with similar responsibilities covering the Chevrolet brand, his focus being primarily on lifted 4x4 truck packages and Corvette performance. Prior to his tenure with the automotive groups, Sanzenbacher served as a retail sales manager for Wheel Tec of Tampa, a premium automotive boutique and Toyo wholesale distributor.
