AutoGuide AGVs Names New Sales Manager

AutoGuide AGVs, a manufacturer of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), has appointed Joseph Hillebrand as the company’s new sales manager. Hillebrand will be supporting business development and sales for AutoGuide.

“Joe’s engineering background and years of hands-on experience designing successful AGV systems make him a great addition to the AutoGuide team,” said Sarah Carlson, vice president of marketing and business development for AutoGuide. “He knows the right questions to ask to determine what the customer needs. He then uses his immense industry knowledge to provide the perfect system at the best value, which is exactly what AutoGuide’s driving mission.”

AGVs have thrived in structured manufacturing environments and have faced steep challenges in distribution.

Hillebrand comes to AutoGuide with nearly 20 years of experience in the AGV industry, including automotive production, factory automation, heavy equipment and material handling sales. Before joining AutoGuide, Hillebrand served as account manager for an industrial automation company where he developed customer specifications and standards, and solutions to custom applications. Hillebrand holds an electrical engineering degree from the University of Michigan-Dearborn and has served as senior electrical designer of AGV systems and automated guided cart (AGC) systems for a global material handling company.
