Granutech-Saturn Makes Personnel Changes

Granutech-Saturn Systems, Grand Prairie, Texas, has announced the appointment of Mike Hinsey as international vice president and the promotion of Scott White to the position of sales manager. 

Hinsey (right), a 25-year Granutech veteran, was previously the company’s International Sales Manager, a post he held for more than 15 years. In his new position he will develop and direct all non-U.S. sales efforts; will oversee the activity of a number of sales agents with international territories; and will report to Granutech’s board of directors

“This is an outstanding opportunity for me and I am grateful for it,” says Hinsey. “Over the years, I have worked extremely hard to develop our international presence in a broad range of markets, and this new position underscores the company’s confidence in my ability to do so. These are challenging times for any company and tapping the global market is almost a given to achieve — and sustain — any kind of growth. I look forward to continuing that effort.”

White (below right) has been named sales manager after holding a sales director position at Granutech for three years. In his new capacity, he will oversee development of new personnel in the sales and parts departments; explore new markets — and cultivate existing ones; and continue promoting the Granutech-Saturn product line to customers in the United States and Latin America.. 

“There’s no doubt that the sales function today is far different than it was even a few years ago,” he says. “Everyone is having to work that much harder to make things happen. We are fortunate, however, that we have a solid reputation across a broad range of markets. Our existing customers know us; the challenge is to get to those who have yet to learn what we’re all about. I’m definitely up to the challenge.”

Granutech-Saturn Systems is a manufacturer of size reduction and processing equipment and systems for use in a range of applications, including the processing of plastics, scrap tires, ferrous and nonferrous metals, materials for waste-to-energy markets, and solid and hazardous waste.
