Ceratizit Group’s board of directors announced the promotion of Troy Wilt from national sales manager to managing director of Ceratizit USA, Cutting Tools Division.   “Since joining our team, Troy has played a pivotal role in Ceratizit’s continued growth in the U.S. market,” says Dan Cope, President of the Americas for Ceratizit. “His strategic vision and deep industry knowledge have been instrumental in fostering strong relationships with customers and peers which is the kind of leadership that will build on our current success.” 

A graduate of Miami University in Ohio, Wilt began his career in 1989 at a cutting tools distributor, where he spent nine years developing a deep understanding of the industry. In 1998, Wilt moved into a sales position with a major cutting tool manufacturer and served customers in West Central Ohio. His exceptional sales acumen and commitment to customer service led to significant growth in his region, resulting in the territory being split three times within five years to better manage increased demand. 

Driven to lead, Wilt moved into sales management, where he continued to excel and drive growth. In 2015, he took on the responsibility of managing a global aerospace original equipment manufacturer (OEM), gaining valuable international experience and expanding his expertise in the cutting tool market. Wilt joined Ceratizit in 2021.

Wilt puts his more than 30 years of experience to work as Managing Director for Ceratizit USA effective immediately. 

“I am committed to leading the organization towards continued growth and innovation,” says Wilt. “I am passionate about fostering a culture of excellence and collaboration and dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of Ceratizit’s cutting tool customers.”
