Dennis Wierzbicki, the previous President of Ditch Witch, has retired and Smith will lead the expanded Ditch Witch Division into the future.
“Ditch Witch and Subsite customers have long enjoyed the localized service and support from their local Ditch Witch dealerships,” Smith said. “Those same market-leading benefits from our dealers will now be extended to current and new American Augers and Trencor customers around the world at one of our more than 175 dealer locations.”
Smith spent 20 years in the Ditch Witch organization gaining experience in manufacturing, product development, research and development, sales, market development, product management, and in direct sales with the dealer organization. From there, Smith served as President of MTI Equipment for seven years, where he expanded the brand’s presence in the used HDD equipment segment. In 2015, he began leading the Subsite Electronics and HammerHead businesses, where his leadership was instrumental in driving growth for both brands.
“I look forward to leading the Ditch Witch Division and bringing these four brands together as one strong organization. Each brand has unique, differentiating qualities, and we will leverage our talent and expertise in key market segments and work closely with our Ditch Witch dealers to deliver an unparalleled customer experience every day,” Smith said.
