Meet the Sales Team

Tony Pruszenski 

                            President

Tony is the founder of TAP Industrial Sales, established in 2016 with a mission to redefine the traditional manufacturers' representative model. Rather than focusing solely on sales, Tony built the company around a problem-solving and technically-driven approach — a culture he actively promotes among his team.


Recognizing the demand for a reliable and competitively priced Hydraulic Rotary Actuator supplier in the Americas, Tony forged a relationship with SungJi Hydraulics (SJH) in 2016. This strategic partnership introduced the SungJi Hydraulics brand to the Americas at Con-Expo 2017, laying the foundation for its continued growth in the market.


TAP Industrial Sales now represents a broad and diverse portfolio of high-quality products and services, including Bearings, Hydraulic Components, and Power Transmission Components, as well as solutions for conveying solid materials. Tony's extensive industry knowledge, hands-on problem-solving abilities, and strong relationship-building skills allow him to offer OEMs and distributors innovative solutions that drive market growth — part of what’s referred to as “Tony’s Toolbox.”


With over 30 years of industry experience, Tony began his career as a Journeyman Tool & Die Maker before moving into engineering and purchasing roles for major OEMs, where he advanced through various management positions. His entrepreneurial journey began with a vision to connect quality suppliers with customers through a results-focused, service-oriented team of sales professionals.


Tony has curated TAP’s product offerings with a commitment to delivering the highest quality solutions — on time, at a competitive price, and backed by engineering support. Each product line is chosen with his clients' needs in mind and is showcased on the company website.


Today, Tony continues to seek out sales professionals who reflect the core values on which TAP Industrial Sales was built: integrity, expertise, and a customer-first mindset.
