Ecotec, a global manufacturer of environmental equipment and solutions, has appointed Christopher Pickhardt as Global Sales Director, reinforcing its leadership team as the business enters its next phase of growth following the recent launch of its new brand identity.
Christopher joins Ecotec with extensive experience in the recycling technology sector, most recently serving as President of North American operations within the industry, having previously held regional sales leadership roles and built broad experience across global recycling and environmental markets.
In his new role, Christopher will be responsible for all Ecotec sales activities globally, with oversight of regional sales teams worldwide. His appointment comes at a time of continued expansion for Ecotec, as the business strengthens its position as a global supplier of environmental and recycling equipment.
Since its launch in 2016, Ecotec has developed into an established and respected brand with a broad portfolio spanning shredders, screens, trommels, material handlers, metal separators and conveyors. This growth, combined with continued investment in product development and distribution networks, has supported its expansion across key markets including the UK, North America and Australia.
“Christopher’s appointment comes at an important point in Ecotec’s development,” said Conor Hegarty, Business Line Director for Ecotec. “Following the launch of our new brand identity at Ifat, we are clearly positioning the business for continued global growth. Christopher brings strong commercial experience and a deep understanding of the recycling industry, having worked across multiple international markets. He will play a key role in strengthening our sales organisation and supporting our distribution network as we continue to expand.”
Christopher Pickhardt added, “I am pleased to be joining Ecotec at such a pivotal stage in its development. The business has built a strong reputation and developed a comprehensive product offering for waste and recycling applications. I look forward to working with the global team and our distributors to continue building on that foundation and supporting customers across all core markets.”
