Parr has joined Triangle Tire USA as director of commercial tire sales, and Vandevender is serving as manager of consumer tire sales.

Parr has more than 23 years of experience in developing sales and marketing programs that have helped a number of tire brands become established and substantially grow in the U.S.
Vandevender, who has been in the tire industry for more than 20 years, has held a variety of sales management positions at both the retail and manufacturer levels.
