Tingue, Brown & Co., the family-owned and managed supplier of after-market parts and supplies for the industrial laundry industry, announced the addition of John Tingue to the management team of its Tingue division. He will serve as a Regional Sales Manager, overseeing Tingue’s business in the northern United States, from Indiana west.
Tingue is the fifth generation Tingue to join the 123-year-old company. Prior to stepping into management, he successfully ran the Chicago-based sales territory, acquiring grassroots knowledge and insights into the industry that is the heartbeat of the family business.
His previous experience was with Hulu (a Disney company) and Twitch (an Amazon company) in marketing and tech sales – experience that will serve the company well as the company digitalizes their sales channels via their online e-commerce platform. Tingue graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Media Policy.
“John’s appreciation for the relationship-based sales model that has made our company so successful is evidenced by his quick learning and success in a sales territory,” said Ty Acton, Tingue president. “Having earned the respect of his peers and customers, it was the opportune time to parlay John’s experience with the company’s management needs as well as our digital transformation plans.”
David Tingue, John’s father and company CEO, adds, “I am incredibly proud to see John join us as a fifth-generation manager. His passion, dedication, and fresh perspective will undoubtedly strengthen our family’s legacy and drive our business forward. It’s a special moment for our family and I am excited to see how John continues to honor and build upon the values that have guided us for generations.”
