CONTECH Construction Products Inc. announced today a plan to expand its national sales force with the addition of 40 new employees. The expansion is needed to respond to rapidly growing geographic market gains as well as new business opportunities.
“Based on our robust sales activity, coupled with evolving markets, we identified the need to expand our sales force to ensure we maintain the same high level of service our customers appreciate and expect,” said Ron Keating, COO and president of CONTECH. “Despite some of our competitors’ tendencies to cut expenses in a soft market, we must continue to invest to keep our customers satisfied and grow our business. For CONTECH, that means providing the most comprehensive coverage and trained sales force in the industry.”
Recruiting efforts are underway to ensure the new employees are in place and properly trained in preparation for several new product launches in 2008. “As we continue to identify new business opportunities, we must ensure we have the people in place to properly support our customers in the specification, engineering and installation of our solutions,” said Steve Spanagel, president of CONTECH’s national sales division. “The use and acceptance of our existing products is strong. With the addition of some major product enhancements and new offerings in 2008, we knew the time was right to expand our sales force now.”
CONTECH has boasted significant and ongoing growth the past two decades, averaging double-digit gains in sales and employee count since 1986. In addition, CONTECH has expanded its market footprint through the acquisition of more than a dozen companies in the last ten years including 7 major industry leaders.
