Premier Equipment adds Nick Kohm as sales engineer in family business succession

Premier Equipment has appointed Nick Kohm as sales engineer, adding another family generation to the Florida-based used CNC machinery dealer. Kohm joined on 3 August after graduating from LSU with a background in marketing and professional sales. Before joining full-time, he spent summers in Premier's warehouse and interned making customer calls about CNC equipment. His father, Tom Kohm, serves as president and CEO of the company, which was established in 1988. The Altamonte Springs firm buys and sells used CNC machines including lathes, machining centres, and fabrication equipment. Premier maintains a large inventory where it can demonstrate machines on-site and provide technical guidance for equipment purchases.
