Brokk Inc. is excited to announce the addition of James “Cat” Catalanotto to the U.S. sales team as our new regional sales representative in the New England states. He is responsible for supporting current customers and uncovering new opportunities in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
Catalanotto resides in Boston where he owns and operates EMCAT, LLC, a manufacturer’s representative company that works with several other complementary brands, including Dixie Diamond Manufacturing.
Catalanotto says he’s excited about seeking out the kinds of challenges that only Brokk’s compact, remote-controlled machines can handle. “Brokk machines have proven their unique capabilities on some of the largest projects in the world,” he said. “As the largest and most experienced specialty robotic equipment company in the industry, Brokk also has earned its reputation as the cream of the crop for support after the sale. I’m proud to be working with Brokk on the front lines with our customers.”
Catalanotto brings with him 22 years of sales experience gained in sales roles with Husqvarna Construction Products, Olathe, Kan., and Pro-Companies, Waltham, Mass. He first encountered Brokk machines on the Big Dig in Boston in the early 1990s. Officially known as the Central Artery/Tunnel Project, the Big Dig was a massive undertaking that rerouted Interstate 93 from the city center into a 3½-mile tunnel.
“Cat brings a wealth of experience with our customers in the northeastern region of the United States, and we’re delighted to welcome him to our sales family,” said Peter Bigwood, vice president of sales and marketing for Brokk in North America. “He will do a great job conveying the value Brokks bring to a wide range of demolition and construction projects.”
