Upstate-based Michelin North America Inc. covers the U.S. and Canadian markets and employs about 23,500 workers across 35 sites. Concurrent with his new role the company, Cabe also joins the board of the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association.
“This is an exciting opportunity to work with our team in the North American region to serve our customers and drive the business forward,” Cabe said in a written statement.
