Mike Herrick has been appointed as territory manager for Dorner Mfg. Corp. covering Western Pennsylvania, Southern Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. In this newly created sales position with Dorner, Herrick will be working with sales channel partners and key accounts to grow the company’s industrial and sanitary conveyor business.

Herrick began his career with Dorner in September 2015 as part of the company’s sales trainee program. Trainees become well versed in Dorner culture and philosophy by spending time in the plant building conveyors, working customer service using various Dorner sales and design tools to assist in the conveyor specification process, and finally learning about conveyor applications through traveling with other regional sales managers and working trade shows.

“Immersing myself in the Dorner’s sales trainee program was vital to the understanding of how Dorner builds conveyors and communicates with our channel partners,” Herrick said. “I’m ready to apply the experience and knowledge I’ve gained in the past 18 months assisting our customers throughout my territory.”
