VULKAN INOX USA LLC will take over sales activities in both markets from January 2027, with expanded warehouse capacity in New Castle (USA), and David Maddy as Managing Director.
VULKAN INOX, a German manufacturer of corrosion-resistant blasting abrasives for surface treatment, has announced the establishment of VULKAN INOX USA LLC. Headquartered in New Castle (USA), the new subsidiary will assume responsibility for sales in the United States and Canada from January 2027, taking over the activities previously managed by Canada-based Vulkan Blast Shot Technology.
As part of the reorganisation, operations at the Canadian location will be discontinued, and Canadian customers will be served by the new US subsidiary. The New Castle site will provide increased warehouse capacity to support the company’s planned expansion across both markets. Customers will receive direct information about the transition and the arrangements relevant to their business.
“North-America is one of our strongest sales regions worldwide. With the new company in New Castle, we are laying a solid foundation for further expanding our business in the U.S. and Canada. In doing so, we intend to build on our long-standing customer relationships and the experience of our team,” has stated Marc Hidde, CEO of the VULKAN INOX Group.
David Maddy will lead the new subsidiary as Managing Director. His experience in surface treatment includes ten years in powder coating and powder coating applications, as well as twenty years in metallic blasting media sales. He began his career in blasting technology at VULKAN INOX in the 2000s and most recently managed a supplier’s shot peening business in North America.
“I look forward to continuing VULKAN INOX’s business in the U.S. and Canada together with the team and driving expansion forward. In the coming months, our focus will be on ensuring a well-prepared transition. This includes providing our customers with detailed information and maintaining personal communication with them,” has added David Maddy.
