Joe Huffer Joins CCTY Bearing
Lake Zurich, IL – CCTY Bearing, a global manufacturer of bearings and bearing assemblies, announces the hiring of Joe Huffer as a Strategic Sales Manager. Huffer will lead business development in agricultural, material handling and construction accounts.
“Joe is a definite asset to our team,“ said Evan Poulakidas, Director of North America. "Along with a strong manufacturing background, he has more than 20 years of industry experience. His consultative approach to helping OEMs grow their business resonates customers.“
Huffer began his career as a customer service manager for a manufacturer that supplies the transportation industry. He moved into scheduling a few years later and then into sales after completing an inventory conversion from a MRP to JIT system. Once he made the transition into sales in 1993, he knew that he found his niche.
“I’m excited to join a bearing company that offers an array of standard products and custom solutions like bearing assemblies that encompass tie rods and ball joints for material handling applications,“ said Huffer.
Huffer is a Indiana native who earned his bachelor’s degree from Wabash College. He and his wife of 33 years enjoy spending time with their three children and two-year old granddaughter.
