Festool Expands Florida Sales Staff

Lebanon, IN, May 8, 2007--Festool USA said today that industry veteran, Gregory Stewart, has accepted the position of Sales Manager Florida. As a direct result of phenomenal sales revenue and dealer network growth, the company continues adding to its outside sales staff. Once considered a part of the company’s southeast sales territory, the hire of Stewart illustrates the success of the line in that state as well as in the entire region.

Stewart comes to Festool after spending 13 years at Senco; during the past five years he was the Senior Sales Representative of the Florida territory. Stewart is expected to keep the company on track for another record-breaking year in 2007. Christian Oltzscher, President and CEO of Festool USA, says, “Greg is an exciting addition to our sales force – he has a history of successful sales relationships in Florida – and we know that he will provide the expertise necessary for us to capitalize on a lot of untapped potential in that state. We have complete confidence in his abilities to keep Florida on a positive growth path and make Festool the No. 1 choice for his dealers and their customers.”

Festool dealers number among the finest power tool and supply stores and businesses in the United States; avoiding large discounters has allowed the company to concentrate on maintaining the quality of its products and customer service while concentrating its marketing efforts on high-end professionals.
