BIG KAISER Precision Tooling, Hoffman Estates, Ill., recently welcomed Pierre Bruyere to the company's Rep network for select provinces in Eastern Canada. He has been tasked with managing distributor relationships and sales efforts with customers in Quebec, Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
Created by BIG KAISER to increase market exposure and to support sales growth initiatives in Quebec and other areas of Eastern Canada outside of Ontario, the new representative position is meant to enable Bruyere to better provide factory support to local customers at a moment’s notice, especially those who prefer to communicate in their native French language, BIG KAISER announced in a Feb. 23 news release.
"Pierre has a solid background in metalworking processes, and has spent significant time on both sides of the table, as both an end-user and a tooling distributor," said Jack Burley, BIG KAISER's vice president of sales and engineering. "We are quite confident that he will provide the highest level of service and support for BIG KAISER products based on his manufacturing experience and local market knowledge."
Bruyere’s career in metalworking spans more than 25 years, 15 of which were spent as a machinist, foreman and a buyer. Bruyere spent the past 10 years as a sales representative for a tooling distributor.
"The opportunity to focus on representing a single company with high-end, efficient and quality products was one that I couldn’t pass up," Bruyere said. "I look forward to bringing my industry experience and regional expertise to BIG KAISER and our customers in Montreal and other parts of eastern Canada."
Bruyere can be reached at 514-216-1708 or via e-mail at pierre.bruyere@us.bigkaiser.com.
