Ross McCombs, QuickTime’s current president and CEO, will join the Prestolite Performance team and be an integral part of driving new product innovation for all specialty products.

QuickTime’s manufacturing and research and development will continue to be based in its current headquarters of Oskaloosa, Iowa, while sales, service and administration will integrate and transfer to Prestolite Performance’s Cleveland headquarters by year’s end. “It is business as usual for our QuickTime customers,” said McCombs. “This will be a seamless transition in which our customers can rely on the same level of service that they have come to expect from us. I am also delighted that QuickTime customers will gain access to all of the Prestolite Performance high-performance brands.”
