Allyn to head up Pride Engineering

Bruce Allyn has been named president of beverage can making equipment supplier Pride Engineering.

The company has also promoted Lee McGillivray to the position of vice president of marketing. The two promotions follow the retirement of long time president Mark Zauhar.

“The company is in good hands with Bruce and Lee,” says Zauhar. “Their industry expertise and leadership strengths will help ensure Pride Engineering’s competitive position in the two-piece can machinery industry.”

Allyn (pictured) joined the company in 2001 as vice president of marketing and helped lead the company to its current market position. McGillivray is a professional engineer with a long history in the beverage industry and most recently served as vice president of sales for IMI, a global manufacturer and beverage dispenser in Birmingham, UK.

Zauhar has helped Pride Engineering attain a dominant market position in the can making industry. He will continue his work for the company by transitioning his role to chairman of the board of directors.
