Jergens Appoints National Sales Manager for Workholding Solutions Group

Jergens has brought on Joseph Farkas as National Sales Manager for its workholding solutions group with the retirement of Ken Marvar.

Farkas comes to Jergens with more than 20 years of experience in sales development and management, as well as market channel strategies, for companies including The Timken Company, Fuchs, Sandvik and Kennametal.

"Joe has proven himself in his career with impressive results for some of industry's top suppliers, and I am confident that he will also do a great job and take WSG to the next level," said Marvar.

The timing coincides with key developments at the company. "Jergens workholding group has momentum in the market with recent advancements in top tooling and custom solutions focused on 5-axis machining productivity. We have a lot of confidence that Joe can support those technologies at the customer level and throughout our strategic partnerships," said Matt Schron, Jergens General Manager.

"I am grateful for the opportunity, and looking forward to the challenges and accomplishments to come," said Farkas.

A proponent of strong business practices, Farkas is Six Sigma trained and has a strong background in business planning, P&L performance, sales and customer service metrics and technical training. Farkas holds an associate degree in mechanical engineering from Stark State College, has a bachelor's in business management from Malone University and an MBA from Ashland University.
