Hunter Industrial Fans, a division of the Hunter Fan Co., has added Benjamin Braitsch as channel director for the company’s Jan Fan division. In 2019, Hunter Industrial acquired Jan Fan, a manufacturer and distributor of fixed and rolling-mount caged fan solutions for commercial and industrial workspaces.
As channel director, Braitsch will oversee Jan Fan’s sales strategy and focus on developing, nurturing and growing the business in partnership with the brand’s key accounts and distributors. Braitsch will also manage administration and customer support for sales, logistics, distribution, delivery and more.
Braitsch previously served as president and CEO and Market Development Director for Airmaster Fan Co., responsible for all strategic business aspects as well as developing marketing and sales strategies and brand partnerships. During his five years as president and CEO of Airmaster Fan Co., Braitsch increased profit margins by 10 percent and kept employee turnover below 6 percent.
“Ben has a proven track record of excellence in achieving sales goals, increasing profit margins, expanding customer bases and cultivating productive and engaging workplace environments,” says Mark D’Agostino, senior vice president and general manager of Hunter Industrial. “We’re confident that the Jan Fan division will experience outstanding growth under his direction.”
Hunter Industrial’s Jan Fan products feature easy installation processes and offer several mounting options, making the fans ideal for indoor and outdoor settings. The fans range in sizes from 12 to 30 inches and feature an energy-saving module.
In addition to Jan Fan, Hunter Industrial specializes in high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans for industrial and commercial industries, including automotive, manufacturing, warehouse/distribution, food and beverage, agriculture, fitness and more.
