Succeeding in sales takes skill, persistence, and a deep understanding of your customer’s world. But selling heavy machinery in the waste management sector? That requires something more: the ability to navigate long decision cycles, build lasting relationships, and earn trust through every interaction.

Alexandru Soare does all of this and more. In every project, he shows what true dedication looks like. Even in a tough market, he consistently delivers shredder and compactor solutions with professionalism, calm confidence, and rock-solid reliability.

What truly sets Alex apart is his natural charisma, the kind that earns trust, fosters cooperation, and creates genuine connections with customers and colleagues alike. It’s that rare combination of expertise and personality that defines a great salesperson.

Congratulations, Alex! Your work in 2024 has been nothing short of outstanding, and we’re proud to have you as part of the Tana team.

The award was accepted by Alexandru’s team from Ircat.
