Road Machinery & Supplies Co. (RMS), a distributor of construction and mining equipment, named Ben Schmidtlein vice president of aggregate, a new position within the company.
Schmidtlein joined the company in early 2020 and has guided substantial growth in aggregate sales and support for RMS, the company says. During his tenure, RMS built a dedicated aggregate division with a focused sales and support team, according to RMS.
“Ben’s leadership of the aggregate division has been a key factor in our growth,” says RMS president Russell Sheaffer. “He has built a team of capable sales and support personnel, and accelerated machine sales through more strategic planning and forecasting of market requirements. I’m excited to align our aggregate efforts more closely by combining our pit and quarry supplies group under Ben and am confident that, under his leadership, we can continue to expand our aggregate business.”
