Experienced Blockmakers Join the Besser Team

Besser was fortunate to add three experienced Blockmakers, Brian Motley, Hank Stephens and Dan Schwefel,  to our field based sales and technical support staff.  All of these talented men came to Besser directly from concrete products production facilities operating Besser equipment. Brian has rejoined Besser in the West Region as a Sales and Technical Support Representative.  He’s partnering with Rodney Lang in serving producers throughout the Western USA and Canada. Brian spent the past seven years as the Maintenance Manager for a plant in California. In this role he managed and scheduled repairs and maintenance for all equipment in the plant as well as safety inspections throughout the year. He was also responsible for the yard equipment. Brian’s looking forward to helping producers throughout his region, renew old acquaintances and make new ones. He took the opportunity to begin this process by working in our booth at the World of Concrete trade show earlier this year. Brian can be contacted at+1.989.906.0479 or bmotley@besser.com. Hank Stephens has 20 years in the industry; the past nine years were spent serving as the Manufacturing Management Supervisor for a producer in Texas. In this role his responsibilities were diverse and included managing production activities and maintenance staff to deliver high quality products that exceeded customer expectations. Recently Hank was instrumental in the successful installation of Advanced Servo Vibration (ASV) and Servo Main Drive upgrades to the V3-12 Vibrapac operating at his facility. He’s brought his understanding of machine operation and the capabilities of both these machine upgrades to Besser producers as a Sales and Technical Support Representative. He enthusiastically shared his excitement and knowledge about ASV and Main Drive upgrades with producers from around North America during the B2B meetings at ICON X-change in San Antonio, Texas last week. Hank will be working along with Bob Frisby out of the Southwest Region. Hank can be contacted at +1.989.464.1573 or hstephens@besser.com. Dan Schwefel spent ten years as a Plant Manager for a large Midwestern producer. Dan oversaw all aspects of plant operations and management including scheduling production, staff, equipment maintenance and repairs as well as hands-on equipment troubleshooting and mix designs. While working in this capacity he gained invaluable experience for his new career as a Technical Service Representative for Besser. As part of the Midwest Region Dan will be installing and upgrading plant equipment and assisting producers with the complete gamut of matters relating to plant operations. Dan can be reached at +1.989. 657.0878 or dschwefel@besser.com.
