Electra Products Agency (Indianapolis, IN): This independent manufacturers’ rep announced a new corporate structure that went into effect at the beginning of January. Joel Van Treese will be president and oversee all aspects of the business. During his distribution career, he held titles from truck driver to VP, general manager and board member with both a large local distributor and a national distributor. He also has served on several advisory committees for large manufacturers. In his more than six years with Electra Products, he has mentored the staff and assisted distributors and customers.
Mike Graham is now VP-Operations and is responsible for customer service and warehouse logistics. He has previous experience with a national distributor in setting up a distribution center. One of his core responsibilities will be managing the company’s 58,000-sq-ft regional warehouse, which serves multiple states.
