NOSHOK named Kevin Buchanan Midwest regional sales manager effective immediately.

Buchanan replaces Max VanOrdstrand in this role as Max has transitioned to the role of strategic business development manager, a position designed to optimize prospecting to multiply NOSHOK’s impact in the market.

Buchanan brings more than 30 years of proven sales leadership and territory management experience in industrial manufacturing, motion control, and safety solutions, with a strong track record of driving year-over-year growth and building strategic customer relationships. A top performer throughout his career, Kevin has pioneered sales strategies in a wide variety of industrial sectors.

Buchahan earned a B.A. in History from Texas A&M University, with additional engineering coursework at the University of Texas at Arlington. Beyond his professional expertise, he is deeply involved in community service, including officiating 150-plus youth ice hockey games annually, past board service with the Missouri Ice Hockey Officials Association, and volunteering with local church and youth ministries.

“Kevin’s exceptional sales achievements, solution-selling expertise, and passion for customer success make him an outstanding addition to the NOSHOK team,” said Christian Cole, CEO/president of NOSHOK. “His leadership will drive continued growth and strengthen partnerships across our Midwest markets.”
