Tolliver, who has been with the company for nearly three decades, takes over the role from Kunio Minejima, who transitions to the position of executive adviser.

Tolliver’s journey with AMADA WELD TECH began in 1997, when he started as the regional sales manager for the southern United States. Over the years, he has held a variety of positions, progressively advancing through the ranks. Tolliver managed sales across Europe, Mexico, and Central America, demonstrating his strong leadership skills and global business acumen.
