Beck/Arnley announces Jim Betournay has joined the company as the vice president of sales, Canada.
In his new position, Betournay is responsible for the Canadian sales efforts for the company. He reports to Vince McMahon, vice president and general manager of Beck/Arnley.
“As a veteran of the automotive aftermarket, we feel extremely fortunate to have Jim as a new member of our Beck/Arnley family,” said McMahon.
“He has in-depth knowledge of the industry as well as extensive experience in sales that will prove to be invaluable.”
Betournay started in the automotive aftermarket in 1979 as a service representative in Quebec with Goodyear Canada and held positions in sales with Goodyear and other automotive suppliers prior to starting with Maremont exhaust products in 1990.
