HIGH POINT, NC ? SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 ? Mike Tucker has stepped down from his position as President and CEO of Mickey Truck Bodies while undergoing treatment for an illness. He will continue to be active in the company?s business in an advisory role.

Matt Sink, currently Executive Vice President of both Mickey Truck Bodies and Mickey Ventures & Holdings (MV&H), has been named CEO of Mickey Truck Bodies. Tom Arland, currently Mickey?s VP Corporate Sales, Fleet Services & Parts, has been named President of the company.

Martin Skurka has been named Vice President of Operations. He was most recently Director of Engineering. He is responsible for Engineering, Manufacturing and Purchasing.

Mike joined Mickey in January 2018 as Executive VP Strategic Growth & Business Development and was named President & CEO in January 2019. He succeeded Dean in that role, marking the first time in the company?s 114-year history that a non-Mickey family member was responsible for all day-to-day operations of Mickey Truck Bodies. Prior to Mickey he was President & CEO of VT Hackney, Inc., and a 26-year veteran of that company.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Mike and his family as he continues to work towards a full recovery,” says Matt.

Matt joined Mickey in 2007 and served as Manufacturing Manager before being promoted to Vice President of Manufacturing in 2015. He is the great grandson of company founder Will Franklin Mickey.

Tom joined Mickey in 2012 as VP Sales for Beverage and Engineered Vehicles following a 25-year career with Ryder Systems, Inc., where he guided a multi-million-dollar business unit. Since joining Mickey, he has added responsibility for all corporate sales, fleet services and parts.

“For the past several years Tom has worked very closely with our Team Leads across all areas of the company, and has played a major role in our overall record growth in sales as well as improvements in operational efficiency, productivity and scheduling,” says Matt. “He is extremely qualified to lead our company at a record pace.”

Martin joined Mickey in 2018 “and has since ushered in several improvements within our engineering process. He is an experienced engineering and operations executive with a keen sense for product innovation, cost management, and technology optimization,” Matt says.
