I started my career in industrial agriculture as a parts counter salesperson for power transmission parts and bulk handling equipment parts. I’ve worked along-side millwrights doing installation and repair of bulk handling equipment. I’ve called on customer in numerous states and Canada which has provided hundreds of opportunities to spend time in grain facilities, feed mills, seed processing facilities, flour mills, aggregate processing facilities and many more. Now as a Technical Sales Specialist for Maxi-Lift I focus on bucket elevator components. My background allows me to provide technical support and troubleshooting advice because of my knowledge of the rest of the customer’s facility.  

Willian Antonio Urbanski is the Engineering Manager at Ucelo Company. This mechanical engineer graduated from the Maringa's State University (UEM) with an MBA in Industrial Management from FGV. He has more than 10 years in the solid bulk handling area and is responsible for the organization's product development and consulting.
