BHS Grows Sales Team & Invests in Test Facilities
Bulk Handling Systems (BHS) has announced a new organizational structure to its North American sales team, adding three new hires and promoting a veteran employee. The company’s new Separation Technology Specialists (STS) will focus on applications of core solutions including BHS Tri-Disc™ screens, Nihot air density products and NRT In-Flight Sorting® optical sorters.
The BHS North American Sales Team (Left to Right): Ken Smakula, Rich Reardon, Richard Sweet, Randy Roy, James Haidos, Eric Winkler and Travis Curtis
The all-new STS Team consists of Travis Curtis, Randy Roy and Richard Sweet. Curtis, having been at BHS subsidiary NRT since 2014, joins BHS to cover the Southeast & Central US. Roy, newly hired to BHS, will cover the Northeastern US and Eastern Canada. Richard Sweet, promoted from within to the position of Senior Applications Engineer, will cover the Northwestern US and Western Canada along with having responsibility for continuous technical training for the entire BHS salesforce.
Integrated systems for material recovery in single-stream, mixed-waste, construction and demolition, and compost and organics recycling, as well as plastics recovery facilities (PRFs), are the lifeblood of BHS. Projects of this size and scale are the responsibility of BHS Regional Sales Managers (RSMs). New to this role are Ken Smakula, covering the US Atlantic Coast, and James Haidos, responsible for the Central US and Eastern Canada. “We’re managing growth and have planned these actions to help solidify our role as valued consultants to our clients,” said Pierpont. “I’m delighted with the caliber of representatives we’ve added as our customers deserve the best-trained, and most competent and professional team in our industry.”
