Rosenbauer America

Oyen set out on his career path attending South Dakota State, in Brookings, SD, in 1985 and majoring in Agriculture Business. In 1991, he found himself entering the fire service industry as a production employee of Central States Fire Apparatus in Lyons, SD; an industry which he has since dedicated his time to for nearly two decades.

In 1993 he moved to inventory manager and then to CAD engineer and body design in 1996. Oyen also earned his Masters Degree in Business Administration from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, SD, in 1996. Three years later he became a sales and production coordinator. Now, in 2008, he can add Vice President of Sales to his resume.

"I welcome the opportunity for greater responsibilities working for the world's largest manufacturer of fire apparatus," said Oyen. "It is amazing to see how far this company has come, and I look forward to seeing what lies ahead in the future."

As the new Vice President of Sales, Oyen will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of sales administration which include specification design, pricing and support for sales staff. He shares this new business opportunity with his wife, Denise, and children, Tyrel (15), Trent (13), and Raechel (12).

 
CEO of Rosenbauer in America, Harold Boer, commented, "I have seen Scott's dedication to this industry and his commitment to get the job done right. I am confident that he is the one for the job."

 After handing duties over to Oyen, Boer will now focus on product development and marketing.
