BKT expanded its original equipment (OE) division with three appointments in France and South America. The moves align with BKT’s 2030 strategic plan and focus on deeper technical engagement with OEMs, dealers and end users across agriculture, industrial and OTR segments, it said.
France
BKT named Rémi Morin as brand specification manager. Morin brings more than 12 years of experience with a major global OEM. He has a decade of international leadership across smart farming and mobility, BKT said.
He will lead BKT’s strategic engagement with tractor dealers in France. The role is intended to align product development more closely with field needs through closer collaboration with dealers and OEMs, BKT said.
South America
BKT appointed Cadu Accica as head of OEM South America. Accica has 19 years of experience in the specialty tire industry with a record in business development, marketing and sales in Latin America. He will lead OE partnerships with a focus on customer proximity and long-term collaboration, BKT said.
The company also named Lincoln Sugimoto as OEM technical manager of South America. Sugimoto has 15 years of experience in engineering and project management, including roles in the specialty tire and material handling industries. He will provide technical support to OEMs across the region.
“These appointments reflect our bold commitment to scaling our OE business worldwide. Europe and South America are critical parts of that journey,” said Ludovic Revel, president of Global OEM at BKT. “Remi, Cadu, and Lincoln bring passion, expertise, and a shared belief in performance through partnership and innovation. We are building a team that will transform our strong ambitions into reality at a global level.”
