Rick Albertini named as NTEA board chairman

Rick Albertini, president & CEO of Phenix Truck & Van in Pomona, California, was installed as 62nd board chairman of NTEA – The Work Truck Association.

He accepted the position from immediate past Board chairman Ben Winter, vice chairman/business development at Transfer Flow from Chico, California.

“I am thrilled to continue serving the commercial vehicle community as NTEA Board chairman and am looking forward to working alongside this year’s board members,” Albertini says.

Since 1978, Phenix has provided vocational work truck and van solutions to fleets, enabling them to comply with evolving regulations. What began as a small, family-owned business with less than 10 employees has grown into a company employing over 200 people.
