ORANGE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Fieldpiece Instruments, the leading manufacturer of HVACR tool and test instruments, today announced the acquisition of its Australian master distributor, Fieldpiece Australia, based outside of Sydney. The acquisition establishes a direct corporate presence in Australia and a foundation for further expansion in the Asia-Pacific region.
Since 2001, Steve and Vicki Hartelust have owned and operated Fieldpiece Australia and had tremendous success introducing, positioning, and growing the brand. The Hartelusts’ decision to retire and sell the distributorship aligned directly with Fieldpiece’s global growth initiatives. They will aid the transition over the coming months as Fieldpiece integrates the business and hires a local management team.
“We are thankful to the Hartelusts for their dedication to the brand and the excellent job they have done building the market over the last 20 plus years,” said Jim Gregorec, vice president of business development and licensing for Fieldpiece. He continued, “We’re eager to build on what they started by installing a local team and further exploring APAC opportunities.”
Fieldpiece is actively seeking a dynamic and experienced General Manager, located in Australia, to lead the new center of excellence and drive the next phase of growth. This role will be pivotal in steering strategic initiatives and overseeing daily operations. For more information, see the position listing on fieldpiece.com/careers.
