TMP Announces Name Change;
New TMP & French® Sales Structure

  • TMP changes name to TMP Inc., A Division of French to reflect relationship with French
  • TMP and French restructure sales of their hydraulic press groups to segmented markets
  • New sales structure better supports customers by leveraging product designs

Cleveland, Ohio (March 15, 2011) — TMP, a leading hydraulic press and intensive mixer manufacturer, announced today that it will now operate as TMP Inc., A Division of French. The name change is a result of a new sales structure with The French Oil Mill Machinery Company, aimed at their continued effort to harmonize the TMP and French brands since TMP’s acquisition by French in 2009.

Hydraulic Press


The reorganization, effective March 15, simplifies how the companies take their products to market, moving from brand-specific sales teams to consolidated sales responsibilities within clearly segmented markets. These changes allow TMP & French to better support their customers by leveraging their product designs within their respective markets and to strengthen their position as the technology and quality leader.

In the new structure, TMP will concentrate their sales efforts on their line of rubber mixers and hydraulic presses for the composite and laboratory markets. French adds TMP lamination presses to their product assortment and will continue to market French hydraulic presses to the compaction and friction markets. Both TMP & French will sell to the rubber markets with TMP serving new and existing customers while French focuses on their existing customers.

Dave Sledz, Vice President of TMP said, “We are proud to be a part of French’s longstanding, strong and vibrant business. The change in our name more accurately reflects our ownership and our new sales structure with French, which puts our sales and engineering teams in a better position to grow our businesses and fulfill our customers needs.”

TMP and French Sales Structure

Dave Sledz, TMP Vice President, is responsible for sales and product management of rubber mixers and hydraulic presses for the composite, laboratory and rubber markets.  A graduate of The University of Akron, Sledz gained experience as a Sales Manager at Erie Engine & Manufacturing Company before coming to TMP in 1985.  He was promoted to Vice President four years later, in 1989.  Sledz is based out of TMP’s Cleveland office.

Douglas Smith, French Sales Engineer, is responsible for partnering with customers on sales and product management of hydraulic presses for the compaction, friction, lamination and rubber markets. Following his graduation from The University of Akron, Smith started with Van Dorn Demag, an injection molding press manufacturer, as a Design Engineer and then a Senior Project Engineer. He then served as Business Development Manager at A.W. Chesterton, a company manufacturing hydraulic packing, before joining French in 2001. Smith is based in French’s Piqua headquarters.
