Steve Abernethy will be transitioning from the role of vice president of global sales for landscape irrigation and outdoor lighting for the Hunter Industries Company to be Senninger Irrigation’s vice president of global sales. Abernethy brings more than two decades of experience to his new leadership position.

“We are excited for Steve to join the leadership team here at Senninger as we execute our strategic plans to help feed a growing world,” said James Burks, President of Senninger Irrigation. “Steve brings a long track record of building strong partnerships with OEMs and distributors, developing effective sales teams, and connecting customer needs to manufacturing operations.”

Senninger Irrigation was acquired by Hunter Industries in January 2016 in a move for both companies to become leading, global manufacturers of commercial and residential irrigation solutions, landscape lighting, dispensing technology, and other custom manufacturing products.

The full news release is available on Senniger Irrigation’s website.
