Ilmor Marine announced that Mike Lindberg, vice president of marine, was elected chair of the National Marine Manufacturers Association’s Engine Manufacturers Division for the 2027-28 term.

The EMD brings together the engine manufacturers to advance propulsion technology, coordinate on regulatory and advocacy priorities, and address shared challenges facing boating.

“I am honored by the confidence my industry peers have placed in me and excited for the opportunity to serve the recreational boating industry in this new role,” Lindberg said in a press release. “As an avid boater, I have a deep appreciation for the people, products and experiences that make this industry so special. One of our greatest strengths is the collaborative spirit that exists across our industry, bringing competitors together to address shared opportunities and challenges for the benefit of boating as a whole.”

Lindberg succeeds Ben Speciale, president of Yamaha’s U.S. Marine Business Unit, who chaired the division for the past two years.
