Kent-based OMAX Corporation has expanded its sales force to include two new regional managers, Dustin Grim and John Leszczyna.
While Grim is responsible for Indiana and Southern Illinois, Leszczyna handles Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and parts of Tennessee.
In their new roles, Grim and Leszczyna will manage the direct sales activities of the company’s centers and high-performance accessories within their respective territories.
OMAX designs and manufactures advanced abrasive waterjet technology in a variety of table sizes and price points at its headquarters in Kent.
Grim and Leszczyna also will work to strategically expand the company’s distribution network, looking for companies that have proven success in selling machine tools and high marks for their customer service and support.
Prior to joining OMAX, Grim and Leszczyna followed career paths steeped in sales, management and manufacturing technology.
“We are excited to have Dustin and John become part of our world-class sales team. Their valuable experience and highly motivated personalities will serve our customers well,” said Mike Ruppenthal, vice president of North American sales at OMAX Corporation. “Dustin and John are exceptionally customer focused and have what it takes to help manufacturers from all industry segments remain competitive in today’s challenging marketplace.”
Grim previously worked as an administrator for Trading Place, LLC/Shipshewana Auction, Inc. in Indiana, and also owned and operated his own independent food distribution company. Furthermore, he is familiar with the OMAX brand, having successfully worked at the company between 2006 and 2009 as the regional sales manager for Michigan and Ontario, Canada.
Leszczyna began his career as a journeyman tool and die maker and machinist and became a process engineer and tool room supervisor before holding sales, service and management positions at various companies in the manufacturing productivity industry. He was an account manager in machine tool and industrial sales divisions at E.C. Blackstone Company in Memphis, and later became account manager in the tool division at Kearney Machinery in Birmingham, Ala.
