Power equipment manufacturer Voith Turbo announced the appointment of Michal Kalita as its new vice president of sales for the industry division in North America.
Voith Turbo, a division of The Voith Group, has a global presence with a location in York. Kalita will be based at Voith’s Houston location.
Formerly in leadership at fluid engineering firm Sulzer and energy solutions provider Ebara Elliott Energy, Kalita brings to his new role more than 20 years of experience in the rotating machinery industry. Prior to joining Voith, he served as Director of Global Service for Ebara Elliott and held various commercial and operational leadership roles at Sulzer.
“Michal’s strong global experience and track record of steering data-driven strategies that optimize performance will bring value for our team and for our customers,” Ralf Dreckmann, President of Voith Turbo, North America, said in a release.
Voith’s Houston team provides OEM services like repairs, retrofitting and overhaul of both Voith and non-Voith products. Founded in 1867, Voith now has around 21,000 employees, $5.4 billion in sales and locations in over 60 countries around the world (while remaining family-owned).
“The customer is the central focus of everything the team does at Voith,” Kalita said in a release. “I’m looking forward to continuing that level of dedication for our customers throughout North America.”
