Tsurumi Brings Back Derek Jackson as National Manager for Rental, Construction and Water Feature
Tsurumi America has named Derek Jackson national manager – rental, construction and water feature. Jackson has rejoined Tsurumi after previously working for the company for 11 years, playing an integral role in expanding market presence and strengthening key distributors’ relationships across the country.
During his previous tenure, 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 colleagues and distributors.
“Tsurumi has a great product and good people; the quality and dependability are second to none,” Jackson said. “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, focusing on supporting distributors and ensuring that customers receive reliable solutions.
“Derek Jackson’s return to Tsurumi is exciting for both employees and our customers,” said Chris Bristol, CEO of Tsurumi America. “His knowledge of our portable products is key to our continued success. I am thrilled I get to work with Derek again in this new chapter of Tsurumi America.”
