P.S.I. is a big fan of Northwood University.

The automatic tire inflation company recently hired Brenna Murphy, a 2019 graduate of Northwood, as an operations manager and moved Jim Herzog, a 2015 Northwood grad, to its sales and marketing group.

Murphy, who joined the company in June, is responsible for inventory planning, purchasing and supplier development. Herzog, who previously held the operations manager position, begins his sales tenure with responsibility for regional fleets and dealers, as well as providing sales support for North American and global distributors.

Both Herzog and Murphy were aftermarket majors at Northwood.

“P.S.I. is a true believer in Northwood University and how they prepare their students and graduates for a career in the commercial vehicle industry,” said Tim Musgrave, P.S.I. president and CEO.  “Our industry is unique, and knowing that we are hiring people with the fundamental knowledge of how it works gives us confidence that they will succeed here.”

In addition to recruiting full-time employees from Northwood, P.S.I. is active in sponsoring students attending Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week each year to encourage real-world learning in this industry segment, the company said.

Sponsoring students at the event also provides a great opportunity to pair students with companies that provide the best fit for employment.

“We are excited about our relationship with P.S.I.,” said Donna Wagner, Northwood’s department chair/associate professor for aftermarket management. “Jim and Brenna are excellent examples of what happens when industry and education come together. Internships allow students and companies to develop relationships for future employment.

“Students have the ability to apply what they learn in the classroom and improve their knowledge and skillsets.”
