Fontaine Trailer, a manufacturer of platform trailers, promoted Alan Briley to president of its commercial platform business.
Briley joined Fontaine, based in Haleyville, Alabama, in October 2010 as a regional vice president of sales.
"Alan is a natural fit to our 80/20 organization and innovative culture. He's proven himself by driving ground-breaking marketing efforts, nurturing and further developing a valued dealer network and orchestrating a strong sales team," Hank Prochazka, president of Fontaine Transportation Equipment Group, said in a release.
"Alan took on the role of general manager in April of this year and has demonstrated a natural fit into the progression of leading our Haleyville team," Prochazka said.
Briley will report to Prochazka.
"I am very honored to be part of this Fontaine team, and I look forward to working closely with the entire Fontaine team developing products and services to support our customer network as we continue to lead the platform industry in technology and innovation," Briley said.
Fontaine Transportation Equipment Group said it is the largest platform trailer manufacturer in the world, producing a complete line of aluminum, steel and composite trailers for the flatbed, drop-deck and heavy-haul markets.
