Hyundai L&C USA Bolsters North American Sales Team
May 3, 2019
Hyundai L&C USA is pleased to announce the addition of two new members to its sales team. Mariano Caballero has joined the company as business development manager representing both HanStone Quartz and Hanex Solid Surfaces. With the upcoming opening of its new solid surface manufacturing plant in Texas, the company has also brought on Dean Murray as regional sales manager for Hanex.
“We are excited to welcome Mariano and Dean to the team and are confident that their collective experience and industry knowledge will be a great asset to our customers and to our organization,” said JK Lee, CEO of Hyundai L&C USA. “Our company continues to grow at a rapid pace, and by strengthening our support for HanStone and Hanex in these key territories, we are better positioned to meet the growing demand for high-quality, NorthAmerican-made quartz and solid surface products in both the residential and commercial markets across the United States.”
Bringing nearly 40 years of experience in the surfacing industry to his new position at Hyundai L&C USA, Caballero previously held positions with DuPont Distribution network, representing both Corian Solid Surfaces and Corian Quartz, as well as LG Hausys America where he worked as a sales representative and a Territory Manager for the company’s solid surface and quartz brands. He is an active member of BASF, Gold Coast Association and Lauderdale Building Association, among others.
In his new position as business development manager, Caballero will represent both HanStone Quartz and Hanex Solid Surfaces in the South Florida and Caribbean markets.
“I am excited to join a company known for its commitment to customer service and innovation and look forward to introducing these two unique brands to markets with such a high level of appreciation for quality and beauty,” said Caballero.
As a 21-year veteran in premium surfacing, Murray has had roles in marketing, sales, and product and channel management. In his previous position with DuPont Surfaces, he was awarded the prestigious DuPont Corporate Marketing Excellence award, as well as numerous sales recognition awards.
As regional sales manager for Hanex Solid Surfaces, Murray will be focused on growing sales and serving customer needs in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast markets.
“With a new state-of-the-art USA manufacturing plant coming on line soon, this is an exciting time to be part of the growth of Hyundai L&C USA,” said Murray. “The new Hanex facility will open many new opportunities to better serve our customers, including shorter lead times and wide sheet sizes up to 60 inches.”
