Stertil-Koni, a manufacturer of heavy-duty vehicle lifting systems serving transit agencies, corporate fleets, municipalities, state agencies, the U.S. Military, and private business sectors across North America, has announced Scott Steinhardt has joined the company in the newly created post of vice president of Sales.

In this position, Steinhardt brings more than 26 years of industrial sales and marketing experience to the role, having most recently served as director of Sale & Marketing for H&M Bay, Inc., a logistics and warehousing company for frozen and refrigerated goods. There, over the span of 15 years, he developed and launched a professional group that generated more than $100 million in new customer sales.  As part of that effort, Steinhardt recruited and trained a dedicated sales team, created a customer service department, and attracted skilled marketing personnel.

At Stertil-Koni, Steinhardt will report directly to company president, Dr. Jean DellAmore, and will be charged with growing company sales among its exclusive North American distributor network by managing the organization’s five Regional Sales Managers, as well as its salespeople who target the U.S. Military, National Accounts, and Shop Equipment customers.  

“The heavy-duty vehicle lift industry is a dynamic, rapidly evolving sector that requires the very best people and technology to succeed," Dr. DellAmore stated. "We are so pleased to welcome Scott into the Stertil-Koni family.  He is a proven sales leader with expertise in market analysis, sales forecasting, team building, account development, and customer service.  We are confident his contributions will enable Stertil-Koni to further expand our leadership role in serving and supporting both public and private sector transportation and commercial industry groups across the United States and Canada.”

Steinhardt holds a BS in Business Administration from Indiana State University where he was a member of the cross-country and track teams. Steinhardt resides on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with his wife Karen, and two sons – William and Andrew.  In his spare time he enjoys running, coaching youth basketball, and is a number one fan when his boys are playing on the lacrosse field.
