Ustian, Navistar chairman, president and chief executive officer. “His manufacturing and automotive experience and expertise will be of great value to Navistar as we continue to diversify and expand globally into new marketplaces. I also want to personally thank Marc Belton for his 10 years of distinguished service to our company. His knowledge, dedication and expertise have been invaluable to Navistar as we continue to grow and we wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
