“We are excited to welcome Kent back to REV Group.” stated Paul Bamatter, REV Group’s Chairman of the Board. “Kent has proven to be a very effective business leader and operator who is extremely familiar with our organization. We look forward to a relatively quick transition and working with him to return this division to appropriate levels of profitability.”

“The REV Fire Division is not just a collection great companies…it’s a collection of great people dedicated to serving the needs of first responders and the incredible work they do on a daily basis,” stated Tyler. “It’s great to be back and leading the REV Fire Division. I look forward to working with all the companies to deliver operational excellence initiatives, innovative product solutions, and the highest quality fire apparatus in the industry.”

Mr. Tyler has a long and successful executive history with REV Group, Inc. dating back to its original portfolio company, Collins Industries, Inc and subsequent holding company, Allied Specialty Vehicles (ASV).
