Ranjit Nair will succeed Chuck Durst as President of Oshkosh AeroTech, who will retire in March 2025.

Nair has more than 20 years of experience in the heavy-duty equipment space.

He joins Oshkosh from Epiroc, which recently acquired Stanley Black & Decker’s Infrastructure business where he served as President of Stanley Infrastructure.

Prior to working at Stanley Black & Decker, Nair worked for Deere & Company in roles across the US and globally, including Vice President of Global Supply Management and as CEO of John Deere India.

John Pfeifer, President and CEO of Oshkosh Corporation, said: “We are confident that Ranjit’s strategic vision and collaborative approach will accelerate our growth, both domestically and internationally. We also want to extend our gratitude to Chuck Durst for his many contributions to the company, which have been instrumental in positioning Oshkosh AeroTech for future success.”

Nair added: “With a strong commitment to a people-first culture, Oshkosh delivers market-leading innovations across a diversified range of end markets. I’m excited to work with the team to advance its offerings for the aviation industry, while delivering exceptional customer value.”
