Joe Limberg, Sales and Installation Manager, Florida

Bringing a wealth of experience from his 37-year tenure at Hector Turf, Joe Limberg is a valuable addition to the CapillaryFlow team as the Sales and Installation Manager for Florida. 

Beginning as a Territory Manager covering Palm Beach County, a hub of golf courses, he steadily progressed to Sales Manager, overseeing six representatives and venturing into the flourishing Caribbean market. Over time, his role expanded to encompass sales and service division-wide.

Limberg’s expertise in optimizing the selling of irrigation and maintenance equipment packages aligns seamlessly with CapillaryFlow's comprehensive solutions approach. His enthusiasm for the golf industry and solid reputation resonate well with the company's culture. In discussions, it became apparent that Joe's values and expertise align with CapillaryFlow's mission. As the team welcomes Limberg, his customer-centric approach and adept problem-solving are anticipated to contribute to the company's pursuit of excellence.

“Joining Capillary Flow feels natural as my experience aligns with the company's mission of providing sustainable, enduring, and hassle-free grounds for sports and leisure,” said Limberg. “It's not just a job; it's a shared passion to redefine industry standards. I look forward to engaging with customers and addressing their needs."

Carl Folkesson, a proficient mechatronics engineer who recently graduated from Chalmers University, is joining CapillaryFlow as a Product Development Officer. With a diverse background, he has contributed to cutting-edge projects at Husqvarna, playing a significant role in creating autonomous robots for concrete floor grinding, and in the aviation industry, where he was instrumental in developing control functions for electric aircraft.

Notably, this isn't his first encounter with CapillaryFlow. During his master's studies, he dedicated his part-time efforts to developing a prototype of FlowTrack, a groundbreaking system for measuring and controlling water quality. It was during this period that he felt a strong alignment with CapillaryFlow's entrepreneurial spirit.

Folkesson’s decision to rejoin the company is driven by his passion for pioneering unique solutions. He firmly believes in the potential of CapillaryFlow's product, which offers a breakthrough in greening urban spaces and enhancing sports surfaces.

In his new role, Smith will spearhead the expansion of CapillaryFlow's presence across Canadian provinces and territories, ensuring top-notch sales & technical support for all installations. CapillaryFlow's products are relatively new in the Canadian market, and Smith is enthusiastic about introducing them to golf courses across the country.

In his career, Smith has held diverse roles in both public and private golf courses, ranging from superintendent to general manager.
