Coke commented, “It’s been a privilege to represent this company and this industry for so many years. I’ve had the opportunity to work with exceptional people — customers, colleagues, and friends — and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together. I look forward to watching AXCS continue to grow and innovate in the years ahead.”

David Porter, Vice President of Sales for AXCS Equipment, expressed his appreciation for Coke’s contributions.“Few individuals leave the kind of legacy Gary has. His professionalism, relationships, and leadership have helped set the standard for how AXCS engages with its customers. We are deeply grateful for his years of dedication and wish him all the best in this next chapter.”
