STEC Equipment recently added Ben Rothwell as the company’s newest territory manager. An Ontario native, Rothwell is covering the West coast, including Arizona, California, Montana, New Mexico, and Oregon.
Born and raised in Listowel, Ontario, Canada, Rothwell has a background in agriculture: He grew up working on his family’s dairy and cash crop farm. He later attended the University of Guelph, where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering in 2021 — aligning his passion for machinery with fostering innovation.
Rothwell has worked across the Midwest and the West Coast for MacDon, helping to develop their combine and hay equipment from the prototype stages to production. Most recently, he was the project manager for a startup turf equipment company, further enhancing his knowledge, expertise, and understanding of the industry.
Outside of work, Rothwell has a love for sports, the outdoors and family. He is always keen to explore and see what the world has to offer. In his time off, you can find him in the gym or on the top of a mountain.
