Lindemann Metal Recycling adds to US sales staff

The San Antonio office of global equipment maker Lindemann Metal Recycling has appointed Joe Barush as an account executive for its Americas business.

Barush has experience in equipment sales and a deep understanding of the recycling sector.

“His appointment reflects the company’s strategic commitment to strengthening its presence across North America and accelerating its growth in capital equipment and aftermarket services,” the firm says.

In his new role, Barush will be responsible for driving sales activity in the North American market, developing opportunities for Lindemann’s equipment range, building the installed-base business and expanding the spare and wear parts segment in the region. The company makes shredding, shearing, baling and briquetting equipment used by metal recyclers.

Barush will collaborate closely with the product management and service teams, support existing accounts and target new market segments while reporting directly to Gunard Polite, the German firm’s general manager of sales for North America.

“Lindemann’s global reputation for high-quality recycling solutions and its commitment to service excellence were major draws for me," he says. "I’m looking forward to working with the team and our customers to take full advantage of the opportunities ahead in the Americas market.”

Barush formerly served as director of sales and marketing at Greensburg, Pennsylvania-based Allegheny Shredders, where he led the commercial team, oversaw product and market development and built strong customer relationships across the industrial shredding and recycling equipment sector, according to Lindemann.

“We are very excited to welcome Joe to the Lindemann team,” Polite says. “His track record in equipment sales and his customer-centric mindset make him the ideal person to help us deliver greater value to our customers and expand our footprint in the Americas.”
