Although the last couple of years have been notoriously bad for the motorcycle industry, it seems as though one manufacturer is recession-proof: Husqvarna. In a press release sent out by the company last week, Husqvarna announced that it was hiring more staff to keep up with increasing sales numbers.
The North American branch of Husqvarna is adding a new dealer relations representative for its western region, and Jeff Konicke is the man the company hired to take on the job.
“His passion for off-road motorcycling coupled with his industry experience with KTM and SPY Optic are important assets that will help improve our communications with our dealers," said Mark Brady, president of Husqvarna Motorcycles North America.
“Our future is connected directly to the development of our current dealer network,” Brady continued. “Jeff has a vital role to fill to help us achieve this objective.”
So, while other (bigger) motorcycle manufacturers are struggling with hard decisions about cutting thousands of jobs, Husqvarna is hiring. Who knew the company was doing so well?
