Aquionics strengthens sales and support team for growing Latin American UV disinfection technology market

Leading ultraviolet (UV) disinfection technology provider Aquionics has strengthened its support of the expanding Latin American market with the appointment of a new sales manager for the region. Gustavo Basurto takes on the position, with responsibility for providing efficient and reliable water and wastewater treatment solutions across a wide range of applications.

Mr Basurto has extensive experience in the water sanitation sector through sales of rapid hygiene and microbiological testing technology, and was most recently in a sales management position with DANAHER-RyE Mex.

“This is an important expansion of the Aquionics team, providing the company with a dedicated presence in Latin America and enabling it to better meet the increasing demand for high-quality UV disinfection technology across that region,” said Ken Kershner, Regional Director at Aquionics. “Aquionics has key customers throughout Latin America, particularly within the food and beverage sector in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Chile and Peru. This strengthening of our sales and support network for the region clearly demonstrates our commitment to close collaboration with both existing and new customers. Bolstering our team in this way emphasises our determination to help those customers meet their requirements and solve their toughest liquid treatment challenges.”
