Equipment Corporation of America (ECA),
a distributor of foundation construction

position of vice president of sales and marketing,
which came into effect July 1, 2017.
Harmston had served as southeast
regional sales manager, working out of ECA’s

market development; industry involvement through
various deep foundations-focused trade associations; and
management of the facility and employees.

will oversee corporate sales management, business development,
marketing, vendor relations, and business forecasting
while reporting directly to ECA president Benjamin Dutton.
“Jeff was very successful in developing our market share in
the Carolinas,” said Dutton. “He also did a great job in leading
us in the transition into the Florida and Georgia markets.
Harmston earned a Bachelor of Science in
finance at the University of North Carolina
at Greensburg. He was awarded the ADSC
President’s Award in 2015 for his accomplishments
with the ADSC Carolinas and Southeast
