WEINIG HOLZ-HER North America has announced its strategic approach to better serve the growing Canadian market in solid wood and panel processing.
This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to respond to its Canadian customer base and its evolving needs for tailored machine and technology solutions. The top-down approach aligns with the objectives to drive collaboration and foster more significant support for Canadian customers.
To accomplish this, Ken Ellston, director of WEINIG HOLZ-HER Canada (WHHCA), has appointed Joel Ackermann as the new HOLZ-HER territory sales representative for the lower mainland area of British Columbia. Ackermann joins the team from HOLZ-HER AG, where he formerly served as a regional sales manager. With an impressive record of propelling markets forward, he is excited to develop custom-made solutions for his new and prospective customers.
“I look forward to teaming up with customers and listening to their challenges,” Ackermann said. “It is not just about problem-solving today, but about forging long-term partnerships that make customers competitive and unlocking new productivity levels.”
Ellston is also strengthening the technical services department lineup. Kevin Veilleux recently joined as a WEINIG and HOLZ-HER service technician for Quebec and Eastern Canada. As a returning service technician, Veilleux brings solid wood and panel processing competencies, making him an incredible asset.
“WHHCA is committed to finding the right individuals who possess the necessary expertise and are eager and motivated to be active team members, Ellston said.
“We’re excited about bolstering our teams from sales to lifetime services to give our customers an increasingly positive experience whether you’re a first-time investor or have been with us for years.”
