Dellner Bubenzer recruits MD, Latin America

Ivitz, who is based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, joins the recently rebranded company after overseeing operations in the same region for Cavotec, a manufacturer of automated connection and electrification systems. 

Dellner, already owner of Pintsch Bubenzer, relaunched last month (June) as Dellner Bubenzer, incorporating Dellner Brakes JHS, Dellner Brakes, Dellner Industrial, Pintsch Bubenzer and Rima. Ivitz is familiar with the entire portfolio of heavy-duty, industrial brakes, many of which are distributed by his previous employer. 

“We have a big challenge in front of us. It’s clear that Covid has impacted all industries and countries in the region, and we will need more time to recover than others. However, the prospects and long-term opportunities we have remain intact,” said Ivitz. 

Ivitz will principally oversee Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, Panama and other hotbeds in Central America. He pointed to the importance of mines and ports in all these areas.  

“I tried to hire Ezequiel two years ago when we were looking for someone in Panama; he is a close industry friend and we share some acquaintances. This second opportunity came at a perfect time as we restructure the company and enter a new phase of growth. Ezequiel has legacy knowledge of Bubenzer products and it is exciting for him to be part of Dellner Bubenzer with all that he, and the relaunch, has to offer industry,” said Joel Cox, president, Dellner Bubenzer USA. 

Dellner Bubenzer also has an office in Brazil, where Cesar Bueno serves as managing director. Supported by a multilingual staff across the Americas, Ivitz and Bueno will provide a focal point for sales and service close to the point of use in Latin America.
