“We are very excited to have Vanessa join the marketing team for Kolberg-Pioneer, Johnson Crushers International and Astec Mobile Screens,” says Melinda Schweitzer, marketing manager. “Her background in public relations and experience in digital marketing will benefit us in defining ways to better serve our dealers and customers.”
