Davco Technology appoints Tim West as new president

Davco Technology, a developer of fuel filtration and water separation systems for diesel engines and a Clarience Technologies company, has appointed Tim West as its new president.

West joins Davco after nearly 12 years with Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., where he most recently served as vice president of seating and structures within the Vehicle Solutions Division. His other titles at Commercial Vehicle Group included vice president of customer success, vice president of warehouse automation, senior director and product line manager for global truck seating, director and product line manager for off-road seats, trim, and wipers, and director of product line management for global wire harness. West has also held various program manager and engineering positions with Honeywell, MicroMetl, American Boa, and ArvinMeritor. He holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Purdue University.

“Tim’s leadership and well-rounded experience with on and off-highway applications will help accelerate Davco’s growth plan and product offerings to new industries, while continuing to provide the industry-leading solutions that our customers expect,” said Mark Bara, president of performance solutions at Clarience Technologies.

“I am excited to join the Davco team. Davco has provided an excellent engineered product that has been well received in the industry for decades. I’m looking forward to utilizing my background to help drive continued product development and growth across multiple market segments,” said West.

The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) announced Christina Parrillo as its June 2024 Member of the Month. Parrillo is the Field Services Midwest Branch Manager at Clean Harbors.

Growing up, Parrillo desired to be a pediatrician and began the pre-med track at the University of Michigan. However, about two and a half years in, WIT said she had a change of heart. Being what she believes is a “science nerd,” Parillo took interest in a class on hazardous waste management. The course was only offered at certain times because the professor who taught it actively worked in the industry. She eventually took an internship with that professor, and they hired her at the end of the internship. At that time, the only position open was for Rodman and she took it, beginning her career in the industry which ultimately led her to Clean Harbors.
