Buckman reveals winner of Edward Weiss Memorial Award for 2016
21/04/2017
Mr Scabuzzo has been an employee at Buckman for 16 years and works as a leather account coordinator in South America. He joined the company following 13 years at tanneries in Argentina. He has been responsible for leather sales in the Uruguayan market since 2016.
“One of Eduardo’s greatest attributes is that he is admired and respected by Buckman customers and associates,” said Luis Stertz, leather division manager for Brazil. “I see him as a key element in growing and sustaining our business in Southern Cone. It is a pleasure to work with Eduardo and I look forward to his many future achievements.”
Mr Scabuzzo, who received his award in March, is the 15th recipient of the Edward Weiss Memorial Award. It is named after Ed Weiss, a graduate of the Tanner’s Council Leather School, located at the University of Cincinnati. He was hired at Buckman in 1952 as a young graduate by founder, Stanley J. Buckman, to begin selling microbicides into the leather industry. For many years, he was the senior technical specialist in leather for Buckman, and much of the success Buckman has enjoyed in this industry can be traced to his work, the company has said. He is often referred to as the “father of leather” at Buckman, hence the significance of naming this annual honour after him.
