Dust Control Technology Hires Sales Executive

Dust Control Technology (DCT), Peoria, Ill., has hired Aaron Valencic as the company’s new vice president of sales. Valencic will be responsible for key account development and management across the globe, as well as lead generation and strategic sales planning.

Valencic joins DCT after a 12-year career in sales and management, including five years at Philippi-Hagenbuch Inc., where he served as account manager, selling custom-engineered products to the North American mining industry. He has extensive knowledge in the oil sands and Canadian iron ore industries, as well as coal, mining, aggregates and power generation. DCT adds that Valencic was instrumental in uncovering significant opportunities in previously untapped markets that are estimated to hold the potential for $10-15 million in annual sales.
