XL Specialized Trailers, a manufacturer of heavy haul and specialized trailers, announced the appointment of Richard Minotti as their new regional sales manager for Canada.

Since 2013, Minotti has worked for Trail King Industries as a district sales manager. Throughout Eastern Canada, he has developed, maintained and supported a dealer network, while expanding a market presence, according to the company.

In his new role at XL, Minotti will grow the company’s Canadian presence, expanding and supporting a network of dealers, while capturing new accounts and business opportunities. XL says Minotti will also adapt product offerings based on the different legal and cultural requirements for each province in the Canadian market, helping broaden XL’s product portfolio.

“I’m really looking forward to working with a dynamic and tight-knit management team that promotes transparency and communication while fully engaging in the development of the Canadian market,” Minotti said.
