Penn Jersey Machinery appoints regional branch manager

Jim Gill has been appointed regional branch manager/Fuchs specialist at Lionville, Pennsylvania-based Penn Jersey Machinery LLC. Gill will work from Penn Jersey’s Staten Island, New York, office.

In his new position Gill will help serve customers in the New Jersey, New York, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland markets. His responsibilities include managing the full product line of the branch’s sales, service and parts support activities as well as to serve as a scrap industry specialist.

“Jim is an excellent addition to the Penn Jersey team, as he has covered the New Jersey and New York territory for his entire work life,” says John Seroskie, vice president and general manager of Penn Jersey. “He brings a wealth of equipment experience to Penn Jersey, especially with regard to the scrap industry, which will allow us to more deeply serve our customers’ needs.”

A 36-year industry veteran, Gill most recently worked for 10 years as a sales representative for a New Jersey material handling equipment distributor. Prior to that, he spent 26 years working directly for scrap processing operations with responsibilities ranging from plant operations to equipment maintenance to sales.

He will assist the Penn Jersey sales team and customers by providing site specific applications support, yard layout consultation and proper equipment sizing for the company’s material handling equipment lines, which includes Fuchs purpose-built material handlers. “Jim offers extensive technical applications expertise and will be a definite asset for companies looking to boost efficiencies with their material handling equipment,” says Anthony Laslavic, regional sales manager for Fuchs material handlers.

“I am excited for the opportunity work for Penn Jersey and with our customers to provide the equipment solutions they need to be successful,” says Gill. “I am also eager to help scrap operations more efficiently meet their material handling equipment needs.”
