Hartzell adds international sales executive

Hartzell Air Movement, a Piqua-based industrial ventilation company, has hired Brian Payne as vice president of international sales, company officials announced.

Payne has served as a consultant to Hartzell since July 2011, focused on international market penetration, officials said. He also has helped execute market plans in the company’s wastewater and marine segments.

Payne previously worked as a business advisory consultant at Harney Management Partners, where he specialized in sales, marketing and operational management.

Hartzell last month announced the hiring of Neil Cordonnier as vice president of operations.

Hartzell Air Movement is a maker of general and process ventilation equipment, from propeller fans to turbo pressure blowers. The company has been in business since 1875 and has manufacturing facilities in Ohio, Indiana and Singapore.
