Pete Jansen recently assumed the position of sales director for corrosion-resistant materials manufacturer Sauereisen, Inc. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA).
Jansen’s experience started within the company’s research group, where he achieved lead roles in technical service and training. Through collaborating with customers, contractors, and agents both domestically and internationally, he broadened his expertise from products, application, and equipment to that of territory management, engineering presentations, and business development.
His new role includes prominent stake in directing the activities of sales, market planning, and promotions to meet or exceed sales and growth plans. This includes planned growth in the company’s present market base, as well as developing new sales opportunities. The position is also linked to goals beyond sales, such as customer satisfaction and interaction with members of the group’s sales, marketing, finance, and manufacturing teams members. Other activities will involve engagement with agents, representatives, customers, and applicators.
In 2021, Jansen set an unofficial record of new customers in one year, according to the company, which believes those results and his team-oriented approach should allow him to serve and grow in a new position. Jansen has been with Sauereisen for over 22 years and will continue to be involved in sales, field applications, research, development, and quality control and assurance, according to the company.
Over those 22 years, Jansen has traveled the world while working in wastewater treatment plants, chimney stacks, chemical plants, and sulfur pits. With locations ranging from across the United States to Central and South America, and extending to the Middle East and China, Jansen has seen corrosion at its worst. He is currently a NACE Level 2 Certified Coating Inspector.
