Witter oversees all of the Savannah based manufacturing departments including the Engineering, Production, Manufacturing Purchasing and Logistics departments. He also oversees production control, manufacturing engineering, quality, new product introductions and provides direction for global production of JCB skid steer and compact track loaders.
Witter joins JCB with extensive experience in manufacturing, including over 18 years at Gorbel Inc., a global overhead handling solutions manufacturer. At Gorbel, Witter served as Vice President of Operations, which included responsibility for all areas of manufacturing, production, logistics, engineering, IT and product development.
