Sames Kremlin North America (Plymouth, Michigan) hires John Becker to its automotive sales team in the position of sales application engineer for the USA. Becker will report to Steve Coats, vice president of sales.

Becker has over 30 years of sales experience in the finishing industry, notably with Sames Kremlin equipment, both direct and through its distribution networks. In the 1990s, Becker joined the organization as a regional manager and worked for Steve Romer. After his first promotion, he hired Wayne Blackwell and was then promoted to director of sales.

In the 2000s, Becker moved to Minnesota and worked for two separate Sames Kremlin partner distributors covering the northern Midwest territory. During his time in distribution sales, Becker continued to grow in his knowledge of various finishing applications. According to the company, Becker’s expertise in applications and equipment enables him to provide the best overall solutions for its customers.

Becker still resides in Minnesota with his wife of 34 years. When he isn’t selling for Sames Kremlin, he enjoys fishing, camping, golfing, tending to his koi pond and spending time with two grown children and extended family.
