Afinitas Sales Organization Changes

Afinitas, the leading global infrastructure equipment and services company, has announced the following changes to its sales organization:

After serving as a key member of the HawkeyePedershaab and now the Afinitas Equipment & Automation sales team, Randy Beelman has announced he will retire this year at the end of December. Beelman is a 16-year veteran of the team who has been involved in many key projects throughout his career in the pipe and precast industry.

“Randy has built strong relationships with our customers and internal team members that have been the backbone of his success,” said Derek Von Cannon, Vice-President of Sales for the Afinitas Equipment & Automation Division in the Americas. “We are grateful for all Randy has done for the success of Afinitas, and we wish him all the best and much happiness in his retirement.”

Kyle Hignett, formerly with the Afinitas Forming Systems sales team, will move into Beelman’s role as Eastern Regional Sales Manager for Equipment & Automation. Hignett has been with Afinitas for four years and will continue to be based in Dublin, Ohio. “We look forward to Kyle bringing his solutions-focused approach to the equipment & automation team and introducing customers to new offerings like curing, Slab-Flex and spun poles technology.”
