McConnellsburg, PA (October 17, 2023) – JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation business [NYSE:OSK] and leading global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers, today announced the retirement of Frank Nerenhausen, executive vice president of Oshkosh Corporation and president of its Access segment. Mahesh Narang will succeed Nerenhausen effective November 13, 2023. Nerenhausen will serve as an advisor to the company through August 2024.
Nerenhausen is retiring after more than 37 years with Oshkosh Corporation.

"Frank has built a world-class team, successfully leading JLG to great heights for more than a decade. During his tenure, the Access segment has achieved significant growth and profitability, while introducing progressive innovations that leave our business in an outstanding position with a bright future," said John Pfeifer, president and chief executive officer of Oshkosh Corporation.
Narang is an accomplished global executive. Most recently he served as vice president and president of Components at Cummins Inc., where he developed the strategic direction and led all operational aspects of the Components business. Further, he executed a forward-looking strategy to grow in core diesel markets while expanding into new and fuel agnostic adjacent markets. Narang also led the acquisition and integration of several companies, helping grow the Components business by over 50% and prepare for future technologies.
He holds a Bachelor's degree in Engineering from the University of Mumbai, India, as well as Master of Business Administration and Master of Engineering Management degrees from Northwestern University.
Pfeifer continued, "In addition, we are taking this opportunity to align the commercial activities of JLG Americas to prepare for future growth."
