HVACR tool provider, Fieldpiece Instruments, has acquired its master distributor in Australia, Fieldpiece Australia.
The acquisition establishes a direct corporate presence in Australia and a foundation for further expansion in the Asia-Pacific region.
Since 2001, Steve and Vicki Hartelust have owned and operated Fieldpiece Australia and had tremendous success introducing, positioning, and growing the brand.
The Hartelusts’ decision to retire and sell the distributorship aligned directly with Fieldpiece’s global growth initiatives. They will aid the transition over the coming months as Fieldpiece integrates the business and hires a local management team.
Jim Gregorec, vice president of business development and licensing for Fieldpiece, said the Hartelusts did an excellent job building the market over the last 20 plus years.
“We’re eager to build on what they started by installing a local team and further exploring APAC opportunities,” he said.
Fieldpiece is actively seeking a dynamic and experienced General Manager, located in Australia, to lead the new centre of excellence and drive the next phase of growth.
This role will be pivotal in steering strategic initiatives and overseeing daily operations. For more information, see the position listing on fieldpiece.com/careers.
