Herguth named managing editor

The Business Journal of Milwaukee

Robert Herguth, assistant city editor at the Chicago Sun-Times, has been hired as managing editor of The Business Journal Serving Greater Milwaukee.

Herguth has worked at the Chicago Sun-Times since 1999 and spent time as a reporter covering transportation, organized crime and other issues.

Prior to that, he worked at the Daily Herald in Arlington Heights, Ill., for four years as a reporter covering transportation, and the courts.

A 1992 graduate of the University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo., Herguth will start his new position on Feb. 1.

"Bob will be a valuable addition to our staff," said Mark Kass, editor of The Business Journal. "He brings a hard news background that will further enhance our efforts to provide readers with the latest Milwaukee-area business news in both our paper and on our Web site."

EVS acquires GMC from Andrew

Ernie von Schledorn is adding GMC pickups and SUVs to the lineup at his Menomonee Falls dealership by acquiring the GMC line from Andrew Automotive in Glendale.

Von Schledorn said he approached Andrew president Andy Schlesinger about the deal, and they closed the transaction this week for an undisclosed amount.

The acquisition gives von Schledorn a much-needed pickup truck line at his Menomonee Falls location, which carries Buick, Pontiac and Volkswagen.

Schlesinger said he agreed to sell the GMC line because he wants to focus on Chevrolet trucks at his Silver Spring Drive dealership, which also sells Pontiac, Buick, Nissan and Toyota.

"It was a good fit for both of us," Schlesinger said.
