RIDGEWAY, SC — BOMAG Americas, a Fayat company, announces the appointment of Tom Schanz as the new Sales Director for the dealer channel on the eastern United States. Schanz will collaborate with the U.S. dealer network and BOMAG territory managers to support market awareness, increase product knowledge, and expand training.

Schanz brings nearly 15 years of sales and divisional leadership experience to the BOMAG Americas team. He spent nine years in various sales roles with a global construction equipment manufacturer, working with the company’s distribution network and ultimately managing the company’s government sales division. He spent the last four years with another global heavy equipment manufacturer where he led efforts to create, market, and grow the company’s government sales program.

“Tom’s work history includes a proven record of success in directing sales efforts, working with dealers, and growing the businesses he’s been charged with leading,” said Christoph Thiesbrummel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for BOMAG Americas. “His passion and energy for the industry as well as experience working with sales teams and dealers will help ensure BOMAG customers have the right equipment solution for the application.”

“I love the construction industry and marvel at how contractors, with the right equipment, can transform an empty site into something tangible and beneficial for the community," Schanz added. "It gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment when the project is complete. BOMAG has a well-earned reputation throughout the industry for providing high-quality equipment to help contractors efficiently complete their projects. I look forward to the ability of rolling up my sleeves and helping the team get the job done.”
