Veteran Building Products Sales Executive Is
Homasote Company's New Director of Sales and Marketing
West Trenton, NJ Gordon Pealock, a veteran building products sales executive, has joined Homasote Company, America's Leading Green Building and Packaging Products Manufacturer as Director of Sales and Marketing, CEO and Board Chairman Warren Flicker announced.
A Georgia native now residing in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, Pealock has led sales management and business development efforts for James Hardie Building Products and USG Building Systems in Pennsylvania, and Alsco Metals Corporation in North Carolina.
Pealock was graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science degree in Management and a minor in Construction Development. His forté has been leveraging technology to help analyze markets and identify sales opportunities for the sales forces he has directed.
"Gordon has nearly two decades of sales and management experience with a heavy emphasis on technical analysis and competitive intelligence and he's bringing it to Homasote Company at a perfect time," said Craig Stiffler, COO and President.
"The sea change of green building across the country and all its ramifications has put new focus on our sound control, interior panel, roofing, and concrete forming and expansion joint products. Beginning with 440 SoundBarrier® and its 98 percent post-consumer content, Homasote Company's environmentally friendly products, are enjoying growing recognition by architects, builders, property owners, and public facility managers," Flicker said. "Our recent selection by Home Depot as its exclusive sound-control panel for Northeast stores will also help to spread the word about Homasote."
Pealock now is traveling extensively, meeting with the Company's sales force across the U.S. as he begins to develop plans to bring sales and customer satisfaction to new levels, Stiffler said.
