Nelson Pavao

Regional Sales Manager
With DuroVac since 2024

Bringing over 20 years of experience in the rough vacuum world, Nelson began his career as a tradesperson in manufacturing—a customer before a sales professional. He knows what it feels like to be on the other side of the table, and as such, he makes sure each solution is a win for everyone. In his role leading the charge in the Western USA, Nelson partners with customers to solve real-world cleanup and compliance challenges. From large spill recovery and dust mitigation to everyday housekeeping, his approach is simple, but effective: listen first, map the requirements, and deliver a system tough enough to satisfy the whole team.

A huge sports fan, Nelson has volunteered with different youth sports organizations for almost two decades, experiences he considers having given him a great appreciation of the importance of teamwork and personal development. In his free time, Nelson can be found listening to classic rock n roll, and spending time with his family and friends. He underscores his guiding principle with a motto he carries with him: “If you chase perfection, you will catch excellence” — Vince Lombardi
