Jartek Grows In North America, Appoints New Sales Manager
Jartek has founded Jartek US Inc. in the United States and Les Entreprises Jartek Canada Inc. in Canada. The goal of the new subsidiaries is to provide a solid operational base for serving customers and demonstrate the company’s long-term commitment to the North American market.
To further support regional sales activities, Jartek has appointed Jeroen Hinnen as sales manager for North America. Hinnen has more than two decades of experience in the wood industry and heavy industrial machinery, with a strong background in international sales and customer-oriented project delivery.
“A strong local presence and experienced professionals are essential to operating successfully on a global scale. By establishing subsidiaries in the U.S. and Canada and appointing a dedicated sales manager for North America, we are better positioned to support customers throughout these regions,” says Jartek CEO Juho Luoranen.
Jartek already has active projects underway in North America. A thermal modification kiln has been sold to Arbor Wood and is currently in the installation phase. In addition, a project with Western Forest Products has recently been finalized, with delivery and installation scheduled for May 2026.
