Scott Balderson, Vice-President of Dymax Inc., announced today the appointment of Allen Switzer as DymaxRail Sales Manager for North America.

“Allen is a proven salesman, sales manager, sales executive and market developer.  He spent many years in our former company, Balderson Inc., as General Sales Manager, and then had terrific experience at Caterpillar, where he served as Cat Work Tools Commercial Manager in Singapore,” Balderson relayed.  “Allen’s presence will give us a much needed focus on our domestic market, even as we are expanding rapidly in rail markets outside North America.”

Switzer began his career in the construction equipment industry at Balderson Inc., where he was a sales rep before he moved to Europe to open the Balderson offices there.  Upon returning to the U.S., he was named General Sales Manager.  After Caterpillar’s purchase of Balderson Inc., Switzer was promoted to Work Tools Commercial Manager and transferred to the Singapore Caterpillar headquarters, where he managed the commercial New Product Introduction (NPI) development of the work tools market in China, South Asia and Australia.

Dymax was founded as a division of Balderson Inc. in 1985.  It was not included in the purchase by Caterpillar of the Balderson family business, and has been independent since that time.  DymaxRail, the division of Dymax devoted to designing and manufacturing the highest quality work tools for maintenance of way and rail, was created in 2007.  DymaxRail products include undercutters, tampers, tie-inserters, tie-handlers, rail-handlers, cribbing buckets and other custom designed tools including the Dymax T-Railer, the semi-truck for the rails.
