Charles Santry and Anton Seeber at HTI’s headquarters in Vipiteno (Sterzing), located in South Tyrol, Italy.“This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us at HKD,” said HKD president and co-founder Charles Santry. “Our strong market position in North America combined with HTI’s worldwide presence is a win-win.”
With HKD taking over all of DemacLenko’s North American operations, the companies will collaborate on new snowmaking technology, and all North American products will carry the HKD brand and orange color. The DemacLenko team will consolidate within HKD.
“We will work closely with the DemacLenko team, incorporating their world-class technology to complement our existing product line, thus expanding our capabilities in ways that truly matter to our customers,” added Santry.
“We are proud to work together with HKD’s impressive team,” said HTI president Anton Seeber. “HKD will maintain its full autonomy to continue to efficiently respond to the needs of its customers. Our goal is to pursue sustainable, long-term success that ensures jobs and creates value in the different regions where we operate."
The companies said that the newly consolidated team will work closely with, and support, existing DemacLenko customers in North America for all sales and service needs.
