(IMT), an Oshkosh Corporation company (NYSE:OSK), announced today the company’s Vice President and General Manager Jim Hasty is retiring effective April 1, 2022. IMT is pleased to share that Amy Brownlee, IMT Senior Director of Finance, will assume the role of Vice President and General Manager upon Hasty’s retirement.

Brownlee joined IMT in 2006 and has spent the last 15 years serving the company in various roles.

“I’d like to join everyone at IMT in thanking Jim for his many years of service and for all we’ve accomplished under his leadership,” said Brownlee. “I am thrilled at the opportunity to work with such incredible people and am excited to serve our team members and community in this new role.”

Brownlee says the prioritization of education and training in the welding field and other skilled trades is positioning IMT as an employer of choice in north Iowa.

“I believe we have the absolute best team in the industry, we make the best product and we have the most pride,” said Brownlee. “We wouldn’t be as successful as we are without the loyalty, dedication and skillsets the team brings to work every day.”
