Gorman previously was Chairman of the US-Japan Business Council and received Japan's 1994 Prime Minister's Trade Award for his contributions to improving trade relations between Japan and the USA. He has been or is presently a board member of several globally-oriented multi-industry groups including The World Economic Forum and the US-China Business Council. This experience will benefit the company as both the Japanese and Chinese vehicle manufacturing industries are particularly interesting markets for TMG's expansion, says Bjornstad.
Gorman also has held or holds a series of active and honorary roles for American and international trade-related authorities. "To have such an experienced and respected member of the industry in TMG and actively working as a board member is a great honour and a milestone in the company's development," says Bjornstad.
