The Avis Industrial Corporation Board of Directors announced the appointment of Greg King as Avis Industrial’s new President and CEO, effective October 19, 2020.
Greg has spent the last four and a half years as President & General Manager of Harris Equipment, one of Avis’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, with operations in Cordele and Baxley, Georgia, as well as sales and engineering offices in Wiltshire, UK.

It is now time for Avis to move forward with a full-time, engaged leader and continue developing and growing what Leland was so passionate about,” said Ron McDaniel, Chairman.
Greg King said, “I am honored to be given the opportunity to lead Avis Industrial and its diverse portfolio of companies.
