Yanmar Compact Equipment has appointed Ryu Kudo as Chief Executive Officer, marking a new chapter in its mission to deliver innovative, reliable, and sustainable solutions to customers worldwide.
Kudo joined Yanmar in June 2019 and currently serves as President and Representative Director of Yanmar Construction Equipment C in Japa, a role he will continue to hold alongside his new position.
With decades of experience in the construction industry, he brings a wealth of expertise and leadership to guide the business through its next phase of growth.
Kudo says it’s an honour to lead Yanmar’s historic construction machinery business and is buoyed by the opportunity to help lay the groundwork for sustainable development.
With beginnings in Osaka, Japan, in 1912, Yanmar was the first ever to succeed in making a compact diesel engine of a practical size in 1933. The company is touted as a pioneer in diesel engine technology and as a global innovator in a wide range of industrial equipment.
