Plastics sheet processor Palram has strengthened its marketing department, while the Plastic Pipe Institute is eager to hire an engineer in response to the trade association members' commitment in market segments in which growth is envisioned.

New at Palram: Charlene Riegger

At Palram Americas (Lehigh Valley, PA), Charlene Riegger has joined the marketing team managed by the processor's marketing director, Stan Schultz. Riegger's background includes more than seven years in marketing roles, including over three years within the metal building component industry.  As the processor's new marketing specialist, she will be assisting Schultz in the marketing efforts to further the company's brand in the various markets served.

Meanwhile, a position has opened at the Plastics Pipe Institute Inc. (PPI; Irving, TX) for a qualified professional engineer for its Fuel Gas (FGD) and Building and Construction (BCD) divisions. Tony Radoszewski, PPI executive director, said the group's members asked for the new hire to help support their efforts in these dynamic end-use markets for plastic pipe. "Yes, our member companies are feeling positive about the future and we are seeing an improving economic environment.  While clearly there's a lot more work to do, adding this new, key team player helps us better align for current and future marketplace demands."

The person eventually hired will be visible, active and collaborative within other industry organizations, standards and code bodies, and in forums where forward-thinking leadership is vital, said Radoszewski.

Interested? The PPI hopes to fill the position by year's end. Full position summary requirements, along with the details for applying can be found on the PPI website. —[email protected]
