Schwing America is pleased to announce a new alignment of responsibilities and territories for two members of their sales team to better serve the concrete production and handling equipment market.

A new app just arrived to make the lives of concrete contractors - and concrete pumpers - a little easier. Designed by Holcim, this FREE weatherAPP can help contractors plan accordingly to a four-day forecast of a building site's weather conditions. Developed using methods outlined in ACI 305, the weatherAPP not only displays expected weather conditions but also calculates the evaporation rate based on wind speed, relative humidity, air temperature and concrete temperature.

Putzmeister America, Inc. has named Drew Williams regional sales manager for the company’s new concrete mixer line. Previously, Williams served as inside sales and customer service manager for Putzmeister Shotcrete Technology.

As regional sales manager for the concrete mixer line, Williams will be responsible for demonstrating and selling the new equipment in his designated territory. He will report directly to Roger Anderson, sales and marketing manager for the concrete mixer line.

Putzmeister America, Inc. has named Kevin Shaber product manager for its new concrete mixer line. In the new role, he is responsible for the overall strategy and engineering of Putzmeister’s ready mix trucks in North and Latin America.
