Donahue has been recruited to help lead the application support of new product lines and strengthen the company's technical provision to customers and distributors.

“Having worked with multiple pump lines, I used to run into issues trying to fit specs, certifications, and other features that weren’t always available. Realizing Tsurumi had such a broad product range impressed me of their capabilities,” said Donahue. “In distributor settings I was able to see all sides of the business and with that experience, it has formed my approach of how to interact with manufacturers, distributors and customers.”

Donahue majored in mechanical engineering at Purdue University. His work experience includes CAD design in manufacturing, followed by positions in application engineering for process equipment and pumps.

“Pat has already added to our capabilities, offering new ideas and solutions, and will continue to help Tsurumi grow in our target areas,” said Ben Rieboldt, Tsurumi’s head of engineering. “We’re excited to have Pat join our team and look forward to another tremendous year.”
