Rotar opens North American division

Rotar, based in Genemuiden, Netherlands, has opened Rotar North America Inc. in Cleveland. The company’s new North America division offers hydraulic attachments for excavators and wheel loaders to the U.S. and Canadian demolition, scrap metal and recycling industries.

Louis Broekhuizen, director of Rotar, says, ”Rotar is a manufacturer, which means that we are responsible for the development and production of our hydraulic attachments ourselves. That is the only way to guarantee the well-known efficiency, quality and productivity of Rotar attachments.”

Broekhuizen also has announced the appointment of Salvatore LaCorte to the post of sales director at Rotar North America Inc.

LaCorte is a long-time industry veteran with more than 28 years of experience, including a previous position at Allied Construction Products, where he served as sales manager for the nonimpact division.

He also serves as chairman of the National Demolition Association’s Industrial Committee.

LaCorte will be responsible for sales and dealership development in North America for Rotar’s in-house developed and manufactured line of heavy-duty demolition attachments. The range includes mobile hydraulic shears, pulverizers, demolition shears and grapples.
