Mr. Hoar, former President of R.H. Sheppard Co., most recently facilitated the acquisition of R.H. Sheppard by WABCO Holdings.  As the manufacturer of leading steering technologies for commercial vehicles, R.H. Sheppard was a perfect, complementary fit for WABCO, a global supplier of technologies and services that improve safety, efficiency and connectivity to commercial vehicles.  Mr. Hoar’s extensive, 14-year background in business and manufacturing at R.H. Sheppard makes Oliver a great addition to Elsner’s Board. Elsner CEO, Bert Elsner II commented, “I am very happy to welcome Oliver to our Board of Directors.  Oliver brings a unique skillset that includes a combination of business, operations and manufacturing.  He has a track record for successfully identifying opportunities and developing partnerships and that fits perfectly with Elsner’s business philosophy.” ## Read On ### [Acquisitions for Brand Expansion and Customer Benefits](https://blog.elsnereng.com/acquisitions-for-brand-expansion-and-customer-benefits) ### [Interview with Kirk Becker About the ELSNER Tech Center](https://blog.elsnereng.com/interview-with-kirk-becker-about-the-elsner-tech-center) ### [Happy Holidays Roundup:  A Year Like No Other This has been a year like no other!
