YANMAR Compact Equipment has appointed Ryu Kudo as the firm’s new CEO.
Kudo joined the manufacturer in 2019 and currently serves as president and representative director of Yanmar Construction Equipment Co., Ltd. in Japan — a role he will continue to hold alongside his new position.
With decades of experience in the construction industry, Yanmar explained that he brings a wealth of expertise and leadership to guide the business through its next phase of growth.
“It’s an honour to lead Yanmar’s historic construction machinery business, and I’m excited by the opportunity to help lay the groundwork for sustainable development,” said Ryu Kudo. “Yanmar Compact Equipment is the most globalised business within the group, and we believe that by combining the capabilities of each region, we can achieve further growth.”
