Simplicity appoints territory sales representative

Due to the growing business over the past two years, Simplicity Equipment and Service (SE), a Westfield, Massachusetts-based dealer of equipment like shredders and grinders, has named John Skawinski as a territory sales representative.   

The Rhode Island native joins Simplicity and will represent the company in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. 

“Besides John’s vast experience in different industries, he has spent his entire career in the Northeast, so he knows the challenges New England municipalities, private material processers and large corporate material handling companies have to deal with,’ says Joe Collazo, a general manager for Simplicity. “With all the opportunities that are arising in northern New England, we needed someone with John’s heavy machinery experience to serve our customers that live in harsh climates and also deal with extremely challenging materials.”

The 57-year-old Skawinski joins an established sales team and will be working on all aspects of the business in his assigned states. Previously, Skawinski owned New England Crushing Service, where he did everything from running his organization to servicing and repairing heavy machinery.   

“I am really excited to enter my new position and begin leading the sales organization,” Skawinski says. “We are a young and growing dealership and our customers have really supported us, which is great to see. We have great brand partners and looking to add more to our portfolio. It is an exciting time to be in this business and with Simplicity.”   

Simplicity Engineering, now Simplicity Equipment & Service, was founded in 1997. The firm offers name-brand equipment like Komptech, R. D. Olson, Portafill, Indeco Breakers, Corrosion Engineering, Dymax and MGL Engineering. Besides also renting heavy equipment, Simplicity says it has beefed up its mobile service department with several new professionals and a new fleet of mobile service vehicles. SE offers service on all makes and models in its shop and on job sites.
