DELPHOS, Ohio — A familiar face as joined the executive team at K&M Tire Inc.
Jon Zurcher, who's been chief operating officer for Monroe, Ind.-based Best-One Tire the last seven years, has been named executive vice president at K&M Tire, the Delphos-based tire wholesaler.
The move will become official April 22.
Zurcher will play a critical role with K&M, the company said, strengthening and building on the company's strategic plans. His "dynamic and innovative approach," along with his "proven track record of leadership and strategic vision" will be an asset, according to K&M.
K&M President Cheryl Gossard welcomed Zurcher to the K&M executive team. K&M Tire has been a Best-One Tire affiliate for years.
"His extensive experience and commitment to continuous improvement makes him an excellent fit for this pivotal role as we continue to evolve and pursue excellence in everything we do," Gossard said.
Zurcher said he has long admired K&M Tire's "commitment to consistency and obsession on quality. These carry through to the way K&M operates in every manner and are evident by the level of service K&M Tire provides to customers.
I am honored to become a part of this team and look forward to making a positive impact to the already exceptionally ran company."
K&M said the move comes at key time for the company as it "positions itself for future success, while exploring new opportunities in an ever-changing market."
K&M, which operates 34 warehouse distribution centers throughout the Midwest, Central, Southwest and Northeastern U.S., recently acquired a warehouse in Denver from marketing group Point S.
