CCS Hires Joel Thomas as Sales Director
If you’ve been following our blog, you know the past few months have been filled with a ton of new and exciting developments for CCS. We launched a new line of Mobile Conveyor that’s already made a splash in warehouses around the country. We’ve grown our sales team with experienced individuals that are boosting our presence in the Southeastern US and expanding our network to the West Coast and Canada. Our brand-new 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility opened in August and runs two shifts at 100 employees to keep up with the growing demand for our Mobile Conveyor. As our final piece of big news this quarter, we are excited to announce Joel Thomas as our Sales Director at CCS.
If you’ve been in the industry for a while, there is a good chance that you’ve met or heard of Joel. He has been engaged with the material handling industry for nearly ten years in a variety of managerial roles overseeing sales teams. In addition to two years spent as MHI’s Chairman of Conveyor and Sortation Systems, Joel has consistently maintained a high profile in the organization. His commitment to the material handling industry goes further than just his career responsibilities and includes actively engaging with MHI’s Young Professionals Network as a mentor and promoting participation in Women in the Supply Chain events.
Joel’s wealth of experience, established presence in the industry and proven resume of boosting sales in the material handling world make him a perfect fit to lead our fast-growing sales team.
When asked about the opportunity at CCS, he commented, “joining CCS is a unique and exciting next step in my career. E-commerce companies, 3PLs and distribution centers make up a niche but very much growing sector of material handling and as far as I can tell there seems to be no limit to the amount of growth this sector will see. I’m eager to get going and work with the team to develop CCS into a major player in the industry.”
Joel is based in the Midwest. His first day was Monday, September 14th and he has certainly hit the ground running. If you’d like to reach out to him, he can be reached via email at joelthomas@cartercontrols.com or phone at (240) 815-1835. Click here to connect with Joel on LinkedIn.
