GOMACO Appoints Stuart Hemmings New General Manager of GOMACO International Ltd.

 

Ida Grove, IA, USA – Stuart Hemmings has been named the new General Manager for GOMACO International Ltd. The appointment was made by Kent Godbersen, GOMACO’s Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing. Godbersen also announced the retirement of Rory Keogh, GOMACO International Ltd.’s Managing Director. Keogh had been with the company for 37 years before his retirement the end of last year.

“It was a difficult announcement to make, but Rory informed me he was retiring after 37 years with GOMACO,” Godbersen said. “We can’t thank Rory enough for all he has done to promote GOMACO and concrete slipform paving technology. He has spent his career traveling the world selling our products, and spending time away from his family to be an ambassador for GOMACO.”

Hemmings had spent the first 25 years of his career working in various logistical, warehousing, and management roles in the United Kingdom before joining GOMACO International Ltd. in January 2019 as the Parts Manager. In early 2022, he was promoted to Commercial Manager. Effective January 1, 2023, Hemmings is the new General Manager.

“Stuart has spent the last three years working closely with Rory, learning about GOMACO equipment, as well as the sales and service aspect to best aid our international customers,” Godbersen said. “I am confident he will lead GOMACO International Ltd. and we look forward to introducing him to the European market, as well as the many other countries covered by Ltd.”
