Harrington's strong, collaborative leadership team is the backbone of our organization who constantly inspire, motivate and empower all employees in the organization to succeed within the company.

Carlo Lonardi - President of Harrington Hoists, Inc. and President & CEO of Kito Americas

I joined Harrington Hoists, Inc. as the Eastern Division Sales Manager overseeing 80% of Harrington’s U.S. sales duties in 1997. I moved to VP of Sales & Marketing and then to COO where I took on all operational responsibilities of the company. I currently serve as President of Harrington Hoists, Inc. and President & CEO of Kito Americas. Harrington prides itself on having the customer focus mentality of a small company while our operations and facilities continue to grow globally. Our strong passion for our product and this customer focus philosophy is shared by all employees which revolutionized the industry and rewarded us with the number one spot in market share in the U.S. today.

Mark Snavely - CFO

My career started with Harrington as a Controller in 2005 and over the years I have held the roles of Director of Finance, VP of Finance and am currently CFO. I think Harrington Hoists, Inc. allows its employees to impact the company in more ways than roles define them. Despite the finance title, I was able to have opportunities to be involved with operations, customer service, and sales since I joined the company. This collaborative environment is created by a good company culture that is supported by great people who all want to get better each day.  We have the same goal: To serve customers in the best way possible. The people on my teams know their roles fully and why their work is important, no one is just checking the boxes, which allows each one of them to solve problems and strive for continuous improvement.  I enjoy this environment of healthy challenge.

 

Jim Small - VP of Sales

I joined Harrington Hoists, Inc. in 1996 as an End -User Specialist and I later experienced being a Sales Rep based in Cincinnati and Mid-West Regional Sales Manager before I accepted the position of VP of Sales and moved to Lancaster County. Working with Harrington has been a great experience since there is a culture of treating all employees with care, which shows in the many company-hosted events such as baseball games and luncheons. I’m proud of selling our fantastic products along with my team with a goal never to say “No” to customers. This culture has created brand loyalties from both customer and our employees that has developed long-lasting relationships.

The summer season is my favorite and when I am not working, I enjoy traveling, relaxing by the pool, attending Phillies games and going to the beach in Sea Isle City, NJ. Harrington is a good place to work because of the opportunities.  Within the Supply Chain team, innovation and creativity are encouraged. The past couple of years global supply chain constraints and logistics challenges have been a struggle but our team perseveres.

My journey at Harrington started as a Standard Product Engineer then continued as Lead Engineer to Supervisor of Product Development and my current position is Manager of Product Development Engineering. The key to my department’s success is communication. It is absolutely a necessity for Product Development to communicate with all departments within the corporation.  My team of engineers and specialists come from various backgrounds therefore bringing a diverse skillset and mindset to the department.   Harrington is a workplace filled with opportunities. Just because you begin your career in one position or department does not mean you have to remain on that career path. There are always different opportunities waiting to be explored, if one desires the challenge.
