Mahoney, based in New York, brings more than two decades of sales experience into his role with Ariston. “This is an opportunity to work with a global leader in water heating solutions for over 90 years and help them create the same awareness and legacy in the United States,’’ Mahoney said. “Additionally, I’ll be teaming up with Mike Sokaris, Ariston’s Vice President of Sales. I was lucky enough to work with him in a previous role and I believe in his vision to create a strong presence for the brand in the market and fully expect that he will lead Ariston to be a relevant player here in the United States.”

Johnson, based in Florida, also has decades of sales experience and previously served as Ariston’s National Training Manager for water heating products. 

“This presents an opportunity to build on the Ariston momentum in the area where I live and the ability to reconnect with customers in those markets,’’ Johnson said. “Ariston and its brands have an opportunity to bring various products, co-developed by several engineering groups all over the world, and they will provide years of service to consumers. We have products that are lifetime warranty products and can provide products for any job, from two-gallon tanks to units that will deliver up to 48,000 gallons per hour.”

Mahoney and Johnson will report to Sokaris as Ariston continues to emerge as a global leader in heat pump and water heating technology. 

“As we build market share in the U.S., Rob and Ron will play important roles for Ariston, especially as more consumers adopt heat pump technology,’’ Sokaris said. “We feel they bring the experience and the passion to help showcase Ariston’s quality in water heating and heat pump technology.”
