A-Ward Attachments

A-Ward Attachments, a New Zealand based maker of demolition and recycling attachments, has added Mark Ramun to its U.S. staff. Ramun will manage the company’s second sales office in the U.S.

A-Ward opened its Central U.S. office in Ohio by appointing Mark Ramun as central sales manager. Ramun has more than 12 years of experience in the demolition and scrap processing attachments industry, having previously worked for Allied-Gator Inc., Youngstown, Ohio.

"A-Ward’s Quick Hitch system enables one operator and excavator to perform the work of several, while using the right attachment for the job. These specialized tools pulverize concrete, shear steel and load debris without the expense often associated with their hydraulic counterparts," says Ramun.

A-Ward Attachments’ West Coast office is located near Los Angeles and is headed by West Coast Sales Manager Jeff Mitchell. The company is based in Auckland, New Zealand.
