Singer Adds Contract Business to Santagato’s Role

Singer Equipment Co. has promoted Eric Santagato to president, distribution and contract, PA/NY, expanding his leadership responsibilities across two areas of the company’s business.

Under Santagato’s leadership, Singer’s distribution business has more than doubled in revenue, while continuing to strengthen its capabilities, infrastructure and national reach. It has gone from a regional business into a national distribution platform. Santagato expanded Singer’s warehouse footprint and strengthened the logistics network and capabilities necessary to serve customers across the country. At the same time, he built a leadership team and organizational structure designed to support the distribution business’ growth and the continued growth of Singer.

“Eric’s success goes well beyond the results,” says Fred Singer, CEO and president of Singer. “He has built the people, infrastructure and capabilities behind that growth. Eric has demonstrated an ability to see where the business needs to go, build the organization required to get there and then execute. He has earned the trust of our employees, customers and leadership team through his judgment, accountability and commitment to doing what is right for Singer.”

In his expanded role, Santagato will continue to lead Singer’s distribution business while also assuming leadership responsibility for the company’s PA/NY contract business.

“He has proven his ability to successfully lead and scale a significant business, develop strong leaders and build for the future,” Singer adds. “We believe those same leadership qualities will be instrumental in the next chapter of our PA/NY Contract business.”
