Ferrostaal Names Lionel Byron President, Retains U.S. and Canada Dealer Network

HOUSTON—February 21, 2013—Ferrostaal Equipment Solutions North America, the master distributor of RYOBI printing presses and Shanghai Electric’s Shen Wei Da postpress equipment in the United States and Canada, today said it has named Lionel Byron the new company president.

Byron said Ferrostaal drives the sale and service of Ryobi and Shen Wei Da equipment through its current network of 20 dealers across the United States and Canada. Ferrostaal said it reduced its Houston headquarters and sales staff last week to an appropriate size because of the ongoing recession in the North American printing industry.
