New appointments at Remu USA, growth plans in US market

Owen McGinty was appointed vice president and lead for Remu USA early this fall. He has been working for Remu since 2019.  

“We are happy to see Owen holding the steering wheel of our US operations, leading the team there and fulfilling our growth plans. Owen has over 20 years of experience in the crushing and screening, recycling and bulk materials handling industries. For almost 10 of those years, he has focused on the screening bucket business and has a strong understanding of our big float technology. He’s been with us for over 5 years and has proven his dedication to the company and our clientele. Our U.S. operations are in good hands with him,” says Remu USA CEO Juha Salmi.  

“It’s an honor to have been offered the role and to be entrusted with the responsibility of growing the business for Remu USA. My focus will be on orchestrating our operations to ensure both customer and dealer satisfaction as they are fundamental cornerstones required for long-term success. [While] Remu USA has been doing business since 2007, there is still tremendous potential for growth. We aim to establish strategic, long-term, mutually beneficial alliances, as well as [hire] more people to further grow our team.” Owen says. 

Remu’s growth plans in the U.S. are accelerating with two new sales hires. Joel Smith and Stu Kipnis joined the team as sales managers in mid-August.  

“We are growing the team with a deliberate focus on specific qualities and values including empathy, a passion for learning, being a team player and having a genuine desire to help clients and dealers find the best solution. Stu and Joel, the new members of our team, are very different characters but share these core values. Our mission is to become the first choice, valued partner for customers and dealers alike” says Remu USA Vice President Owen McGinty.
