Simplicity Appoints John Skawinski as Its New Territory Sales Representative
Due to the growing business over the past two years, Simplicity Equipment and Service has named John Skawinski as a territory sales representative.
The Rhode Island native joins Simplicity and will represent the Westfield, Mass., company covering Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. The announcement was made by Simplicity’s General Manager Joe Collazo III.
“Besides John’s vast experience in different industries, he has spent his entire career in the Northeast, so he knows the challenges New England municipalities, private material processers and large corporate material handling companies have to deal with,” said Collazo.
“With all the opportunities that are arising in northern New England, we needed someone with John’s heavy machinery experience to serve our customers that live in harsh climates and also deal with extremely challenging materials.”
Skawinski joins an established sales team and will be working on all aspects of the business in his assigned states.
Previously, he was the owner of New England Crushing Service where he did everything from running his organization to servicing and repairing heavy machinery.
“I am really excited to enter my new position and begin leading the sales organization. We are a young and growing dealership and our customers have really supported us which is great to see,” said Skawinski.
“We have great brand partners and looking to add more to our portfolio. It is an exciting time to be in this business and with Simplicity.”
Simplicity Engineering, now Simplicity Equipment & Service, was founded in 1997 with Ryan Cullen acquiring ownership in 2020. The Westfield, Mass., firm offers namebrand equipment such as Komptech, R. D. Olson, Portafill, Indeco Breakers, Corrosion Engineering, Dymax and MGL Engineering.
Besides also renting heavy equipment, Simplicity has beefed up its mobile service department with several new professionals and a new fleet of mobile service vehicles. SE offers service on all makes and models in its shop and on job sites.

Re-Surfacing to Make Up Most Work
Delabruere explained that although there is no major construction that must take place to improve the MVRT, the VTrans effort will likely take a few years to complete.
“What this project is going to do is rehabilitate that old surface with a new surface — same product, just new — and we are also going to extend the project just slightly from where it now ends in St. Albans. We’re going to take it a little bit farther, a little closer to downtown on lower Newton Street.”
Sawyer told WCAX-TV that the MVRT has always been an important recreational resource for his city.
“Having an extension of the trail deeper into the city means that we can possibly make a stronger and easier connection for even more people or families to bike and walk right through downtown,” he said.
Delabruere added that the upkeep of the MVRT and Vermont’s entire network of trails will continue to remain a top priority for the state transportation agency.
