Jasper Engines & Transmissions has named Matt Weinzapfel vice president of engine manufacturing.

Weinzapfel’s
duties will be to oversee the remanufacturing processes of the Gas
Engine and Diesel Engine Divisions, as well as the Jasper Authentic
Custom Drivetrains Division.

“Matt was selected based on his recent experience as Diesel Division
manager, and his prior work as manager of JASPER’s Crawford County
operations,” said Mike Schwenk, executive vice president of production.

“I appreciate the opportunity to serve the JASPER family in this new
role,” said Weinzapfel. “It’s an exciting time at JASPER, due to solid
sales growth and our recent move to 100 percent associate ownership. I
look forward to working with all JASPER associates on our journey of
continuous improvement.”

Weinzapfel began his career at JASPER in May of 1994 working in branch
auditing and accounting for four years. After that, Weinzapfel spent

Weinzapfel later spent three years as general manager of Gas and Diesel

In
conjunction with Weinzapfel’s new appointment Ryan Dooley has been
named Diesel Division manager. Dooley will oversee the day-to-day
duties within the Diesel Division.

the Gas Engine Failure Analysis Department. After that, Ryan spent 11
