Tsurumi Pump Names Derek Jackson National Manager – Rental and Construction
Tsurumi America hired Derek Jackson as national manager – rental, construction and water feature. Jackson rejoins Tsurumi after previously serving the company for 11 years, where he played an integral role in expanding market presence and strengthening key distributors’ relationships across the country.
During his previous tenure with Tsurumi, Jackson was recognized for his ability to drive consistent year-over-year sales growth and for his commitment to building lasting partnerships within the construction and rental sectors. His deep understanding of customer needs and his collaborative approach made him a trusted resource for both colleagues and distributors alike.
When asked about his return Jackson said, “Tsurumi has a great product and good people; the quality and dependability are second to none. I’m looking forward to continuing to build on that foundation while contributing to the company’s long-term growth.”
In his new role, Jackson will oversee Tsurumi’s national rental, construction, and water feature accounts. He will focus on supporting distributors and ensuring that customers receive the reliable, high-performance solutions that have defined Tsurumi for decades.
“Derek Jackson's return to Tsurumi is exciting for both employees and our customers. His knowledge of our portable products is key to our continued success,” said Chris Bristol, CEO of Tsurumi America. “I am thrilled I get to work with Derek again in this new chapter of Tsurumi America.”
