Defoe will be responsible for supporting the equipment sales and marketing efforts of Atlas Copco’s channel partners, focusing on portable compressors, generators and light towers, and dewatering pumps.

Working from Florida, Defoe is a 30-year industry vet after most recently holding the Regional Sales Manager position in the Great Lakes region for Atlas Copco Power Technique. Defoe is married and enjoys spending time with his family.
Countryman joins Atlas Copco with over fifteen years of experience in the general rental business, engine distribution, generator, and industrial engine service, as well as designing and engineering temporary pump systems.
Bruce will be responsible for our continued work with our channel partners in the South,” said Breedlove. “We are excited to bring Bruce onto our team.
A long-time resident of South Carolina, Countryman recently finished his four-year elected term as the Commissioner for the Greenville County Soil & Water Conservation District under the auspices of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. When you don’t see him pumping water, he likes to fish and spend time with his family.
