Glaston Americas appoints Joe Butler

Glaston Americas, one of the glass processing industry’s technology specialists, has appointed Joe Butler as ‘senior vice president, sales and service’. Based at Glaston’s office in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, Joe’s role is to oversee the sales and service operations of Glaston products in the Americas.

Joe has over 20 years of sales experience and has occupied leadership roles in top-tier manufacturing companies that are focused on the fenestration industry. Most recently, he led the North American sales team at Guardian Industries, where he was responsible for flat glass products in all key market segments, including the value-added Low-E portfolio for commercial and residential customers.

“With his extensive experience and excellent industry knowhow, Joe will be a tremendous addition not only to our team in the Americas region, but also to the entire Glaston business,” said Sasu Koivumäki, Glaston’s chief sales officer and deputy CEO. “North America is an extremely important market for Glaston. The market demand for high-quality glass is strong in the region. We expect to see an increased demand for high-quality, heat-treated glass and insulating glass units, as well as automotive glass, where we’ve also seen an increased activity.”

Joe said: “Automation is becoming increasingly more prevalent in the everyday life at a glass factory, which will enable all of us to further develop the glass processing industry. I’m looking forward to working together with all our customers to improve their businesses and to meet their growing demands for quality and productivity. Glaston’s versatile product portfolio supports our customers’ needs for new machines and upgrades, which are backed by the best service team in the business.”
