Meet Joe Bertolami
Fluid & Air Handling Team Leader
The right hire needs more than “pumps” or “fluid handling” on a résumé. Talk with our specialist about your equipment, applications, customers and sales channel so we can identify the experience that matters most to your business.

Equipment knowledge. Application understanding. Commercial strength.
The strongest fluid-handling professionals understand more than a product category. They know how equipment is applied, what affects performance, who influences the buying decision and how the system fits into the customer’s process.
Product experience
What pumps, compressors, blowers, vacuum systems or related equipment have they sold, supported or helped customers specify?
Application knowledge
Do they understand flow, pressure, media, temperature, system requirements and operating conditions?
Customer relationships
Have they worked with distributors, reps, OEMs, EPCs, contractors, municipalities or industrial end users?
Sales approach
Have they succeeded in technical sales, project selling, specification work, territory development or strategic account growth?
