ADAIRSVILLE, GA — SAKAI America, Inc. announces recent changes to the Sales and Marketing team. TJ Hopkins joins the organization as the Regional Sales Manager for the northeast U.S. and Canada from Ontario eastward. He will be based out of this territory, which covers the U.S. states of New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

In this role he will support SAKAI dealers with recommended inventory of new rollers, product expertise on customer demos, and training sales staff on asphalt and soil compaction equipment.

Before coming to SAKAI, Hopkins was a Territory Manager at two regional equipment dealers with locations in New England. His background on the dealer level and familiarity of the region puts him in the position to both strategically and geographically deliver what SAKAI dealers expect from an OEM.

“We are excited to have T.J. on board,” said Brad Belvin, Manager, Sales and Marketing. “Having someone with dealer-level experience here at the manufacturer is ideal for further understanding how to properly support our partners as they deliver on our mission to be the most sophisticated and trusted compaction equipment provider in the U.S.”
