Ceratizit names technical sales engineer to support midwest customers

Ceratizit USA announced that Mark Frost has joined the company’s Midwest team as a technical sales engineer for the cutting tool division.

Frost brings 33 years of experience in the metalworking industry to his role at Ceratizit. With hands-on experience “making chips,” he is known for fine-tuning tooling applications to improve performance beyond standard recommendations. In addition, Frost has completed international milling training and brings global experience working with distribution, direct sales, and sourcing from manufacturing partners worldwide.

“My background working with customers and partners around the world has given me a broad perspective on machining strategies,” says Frost. “But what I value most is being on the shop floor with customers in my area, understanding their challenges and delivering practical solutions that work.”

In addition to the company’s extensive cutting tool portfolio, Frost will support Ceratizit’s broader commitment to quality, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. Through its vertically integrated tungsten supply network in the United States, including Global Tungsten & Powders (GTP), Ceratizit maintains access to every stage of tungsten processing from raw material conversion to the production of high-purity ammonium paratungstate (APT). This integration strengthens supply chain security while ensuring consistent material quality for manufacturers producing critical components.

“Mark’s experience and pragmatic approach are a value-add for our customers,” says Troy Wilt, managing director of Ceratizit USA, Cutting Tools Division. “Whether you are a smaller shop or an OEM, he is armed with deep application knowledge and a mindset to help solve real-world machining.”
