Kraft Fluid Systems, Cleveland, Ohio, has promoted two sales professionals for North America.

John Juhasz, CFPHS & CFPECS, has been promoted to Regional Sales Manager for the Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois territory.  Juhasz will oversee the activities of all Kraft salespeople in the area and will work directly with company suppliers to better meet the needs of the client base.

Significant growth and expansion have created a need for additional salespeople and support.  Kraft’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Scott Durand, expressed his enthusiasm saying, “We are excited to have a more focused presence in this geography and believe our clients and organization will greatly benefit from John’s experience, work ethic, and sense of urgency.”

The company has also promoted Brian Shockey to North American Sales Manager for their Electric Drives Division. Kraft’s Electric Drives Division has been supplying electric drive components and systems to the automated guided vehicle market for more than 25 years.  

Shockey joined Kraft in 2014 with a background in electric automation and fluid power. He has been instrumental in expanding their market scope to include machine builders, amusement and material handling in addition to AGV systems for industrial automation.
