AriensCo, an industry leader in outdoor power equipment, is pleased to announce the appointment of Brad
Stiles as its new Vice President of Sales for EMEAA.
Stiles, who has been with AriensCo for over 11 years, brings unparalleled expertise that will help drive AriensCo’s
sales throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa while also ensuring continued growth in Asia Pacific and across
UK business activities.
The new appointment highlights AriensCo’s continued investment in its operations and will help AriensCo continue to
grow its commercial presence throughout EMEAA. This includes the acquisition of German professional mower man-
ufacturer, AS-Motor, appointing Jochen Schneider as Executive Vice President of EMEAA and moving its CE zero-turn
mower production to Oxford, United Kingdom.
Stiles, whose father worked at AriensCo for over 25 years, vacates his previous position of Director of Sales and Mar-
keting for EMEAA – which he was promoted to in 2020. It was in this post that he demonstrated an exceptional under-
standing of the Ariens business in the UK, including the key differences between the UK, European and US markets,
built lasting relationships within the EMEAA distributor networks and helped customers achieve their goals.
“Brad continues to be the driving force behind AriensCo’s remarkable growth throughout EMEAA,” said Jochen Sch-
neider, Executive Vice President of EMEAA. “Having worked at AriensCo for over a decade he not only embodies our
family values but is best placed to ensure our customers get the products and support they depend on.”
Stiles will report to Jochen Schneider, Executive Vice President of EMEAA and is eager to get to work, “For over a
decade I have witnessed AriensCo’s fast paced growth and now, in this new position, I can play an even greater role
in keeping up that momentum. From strengthening current markets to reaching new ones, these truly are exciting
times for AriensCo and all its customers, present and future.”
Regional sales managers in Germany, France and UK along with the export sales teams from EMEAA will report into
Stiles.
