Cambridge Engineered Solutions Triples Outside Sales Force in United States
Cambridge, Maryland (PRWEB) May 31, 2016 -- Cambridge Engineered Solutions, the world’s largest manufacturer of metal conveyor belts, has tripled the size of its outside sales force by hiring six technical managers and promoting two company veterans who will work in select regional and industry markets throughout the United States. The belt manufacturer has also added an inside sales manager at its Maryland headquarters.
The new outside sales team members will hit the road June 6 and embark on a three-month, 20-state road trip in Cambridge’s signature “Heavy Metal” RV to visit to dozens of distributors, food processors and industry equipment manufacturers.
“Cambridge has been a category leader in precision metal conveyor belt design, installation and manufacturing for more than 100 years,” said Tracy L. Tyler, President and CEO. “Building on the success of our most profitable year, we are proud to expand our team to better serve existing and new customers in our core industries and territories.”
Hired in the first quarter, the new sales managers add tremendous subject expertise and experience to the Cambridge outside sales force that has expanded to 10 employees, according to Tyler.
The new technical sales managers are: Joseph DuBord, High Temp/U.S. and Canada; Matt Farrar, Bakery/West of the Mississippi; Sam Jodka, Food and Dairy/East; Jim Law, Bakery/East; Darren McCune, Protein/South East; Ty Spainhour, Protein/South Central.
Charlie Hennigar has been promoted to outside sales and will focus on OEMs and Cambridge veteran Eva Winther will concentrate on the filtration market in the U.S. and Canada.
“Over the next three months, our new technical experts will visit companies in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest,” said Larry Windsor, Executive Director of Sales and Business Development. “In an age of high-tech, low-touch business, the Cambridge Heavy Metal Tour turns the tables and is a high-touch, customer-centric calling card.”
Heavy Metal – a play on Cambridge’s iconic stainless steel products -- has traveled to 17 states since it debuted in October 2014. During each visit, company representatives showcase new products, conduct free workshops, perform complimentary equipment evaluations, and serve breakfast or lunch to plant employees from the mobile showroom
