New VP, sales and marketing at Conair

Auxiliary equipment maker Conair Group has appointed Sam Rajkovich as its new vice president of sales and marketing.

His appointment is effective April 3, 2017.

Before joining Cranberry Township, Pa.-based Conair, Rajkovich served as vice president of sales and marketing for material processing equipment maker Sturtevant. His prior experience also includes work as VP, Sales and Marketing for Hartzell Air Movement Company, as well as five years in successive sales and marketing leadership positions with Johnson Controls’ Ruskin and Trion air-handling equipment brands. Early in his career, he sold plastics auxiliary equipment.

“Sam joins Conair having implemented tightly integrated marketing strategy and sales processes for other equipment manufacturers, and brings extensive experience in sales management, new product development and customer service,” said Conair president Larry Doyle. “This combination will give us a clearer vision of what our customers need and want from Conair and a more complete understanding of how our sales force can deliver it to them. He also has plastics industry knowledge and experience. Along with strong leadership qualities, this will advance our marketing efforts and accelerate our sales momentum.”
