TekModo taps Finn for business development
ELKHART — Kevin Finn has been named director of sales and business development for TekModo, the company has announced. He will oversee the RV, Marine and Specialty Vehicles divisions. TekModo is an Elkhart-based company specializing in engineered composite body panels that are custom designed to maximize performance and minimize weight for a variety of industries.
Finn comes to TekModo with 23 years of experience in the RV industry in both sales and manufacturing management. He was most recently the General Manager of Forest River for the Work and Play and Adrenaline divisions.
“Composite materials are a great solution to the negative issues that manufacturers have with wood materials,” Finn said. “TekModo’s materials are resistant to water infiltration issues such as rot, mildew, and mold. Our composites provide a stronger material at up to half the weight of wood. They won’t expand or fall apart from waterlogging. All these features are important in any outdoor application.”
