Earnest Machine added two employees at their corporate office in Cleveland.

Jared Donnelly and Dmitriy Kantarovich join Earnest Machine’s sales team, bringing a combined 20 years of industrial and wholesale experience to the company. Both will manage customer accounts.

In 2018, Earnest Machine operated at a 96.3% average for Distribution Performance and accurate order entry and quantity plays an important role in that.

“When we make new hires, we look for people who perform best in a collaborative environment,” said CEO Kirk Zehnder. “While our sales group is broken up into teams to better serve the customer, there is no competitive atmosphere.”

Founded in 1948, Earnest Machine is a global importer, distributor and manufacturer of large diameter and hard-to-find fasteners for agriculture, construction equipment, heavy transportation, mining, structural construction and wind industries. Earnest has sales offices, warehouses and manufacturing in England and Cleveland, warehouses in Atlanta and Indianapolis, and is based at 1250 Linda St., Rocky River, OH 44116. Web: EarnestMachine.com
