Hernandez leaves Haulotte

Carlos Hernandez of Haulotte is leaving the company, having moved on from running the company’s operations in the Americas in January of this year. His most recent role has been executive vice president sales, marketing, market development and customer service. But he made his name with the company in sales and distribution, especially in the Americas.

Hernandez joined Haulotte in 2005 as sales director for Spain and Portugal, before taking on responsibility for South and Central America, partly in 2007 and fully in 2010, over the next five years he helped establish Haulotte as a force in the region, launching subsidiaries in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, while adding distributors in other countries.
In 2015 he added North America to his responsibilities and above all else brought leadership stability to the business which had been somewhat ‘erratic’ in the years previous with regular changes in senior managers.

He also played a key role in number of strategic acquisitions, the development of new distribution facilities, and the expansion of Haulotte’s rental business in Europe and the Americas.

Chief executive Alexandre Saubot said: “Carlos has been instrumental in building Haulotte’s presence across multiple continents. His vision, his great operational achievement, total commitment and dedication have left a profound mark on the company. We thank him for his many contributions over the past 20 years.”

Hernandez added: “Leading Haulotte over these years has been both a privilege and an honour. I am deeply grateful to Alexandre for giving me the opportunity to be part of the Haulotte family, and I wish the company continued success. After all these years, it is time for me to pursue the next chapter in my professional journey. I look back with pride at our shared achievements and my time at Haulotte.”
