FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Godwin Pumps® Announces
Management Additions
(BRIDGEPORT,
NJ — April 17, 2008) Godwin Pumps,
the largest manufacturer of portable
rental pumps in the United States
with 24 branch offices and a network
of over 100 distributors worldwide,
recently announced additions to the
leadership of its Tampa, FL and Mira
Loma, CA branches.
Dwight Kimelton signed on as Branch
Manager of Godwin’s Tampa Branch.
Kimelton joins Godwin with over 13
years of experience in industrial
paint sales and marketing management
and another eight years in equipment
rental and sales. These experiences
exposed Kimelton to project, product
and personnel management and
introduced him to the oil and gas,
contractor, industrial and
agricultural sectors into which
Godwin rents and sells its trademark
Dri-Prime®
pumps and equipment. A member of
the National Association of
Corrosion Engineers (NACE) and Steel
Structures Painting Council (SSPC),
Kimelton received a degree in
Industrial Technology from Rend Lake
College (IL).
“Our market in Florida has
tremendous potential,” said Godwin
president, John Paz. “We recently
invested in a larger facility there,
anticipating continued growth.
Dwight’s experience developing new
business as both a manufacturer and
a product and service supplier fits
the niche Godwin has carved out in
the portable pump industry and will
lend itself to growing the business
in this region of the country.”
Steve Tao joined Godwin’s Mira Loma
Branch as its Assistant Branch
Manager. Tao has over 12 years’
experience in the equipment rental
industry, with particular focus on
customer service and corporate and
independent store account
management. In addition, Tao
provided four years of distinguished
service to the United States Marine
Corps, where he received a host of
awards, including a Marine Corps
Good Conduct Medal. Tao earned a
Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of
Arts degree in Accounting and an
Associate’s degree in Computer
Information Systems from DeVry
Institute.
“Steve’s experience in a high
energy, high demand rental
environment matches the pace we
experience in our Mira Loma Branch,”
said Paz. “Steve has had to train
and schedule employees; resolve
billing and support issues; and sell
and rent equipment. This is exactly
the support needed to continue the
amazing growth trend we’ve seen in
California.”
