Vik Shah, newly appointed President, succeeds Corby Stover, who is retiring after a successful career marked by meaningful contributions to Morgan’s growth, operational strength, and market leadership.

Having also served as Chief Technical Officer at The Woodbridge Group, where he successfully aligned engineering innovation with customer value, he brings an essential technical perspective to Morgan Truck Body.
