There, we invite you to meet and connect with some familiar faces who will be assuming new roles in Vitro Glass operations. Paul Bush, formerly director of Technical Services, is now director of Quality & Technical Services. Paul will report directly to Dick Beuke, president. Perry Johnson, a longtime vice president of Automotive Flat Glass at Pittsburgh Glass Works (PGW) with a rich history in glass production at both PGW and PPG, will now serve as vice president of Operations for Vitro’s U.S. and Canada operations. He also will report to Dick Beuke. In addition, Glenn Davis, former eastern regional manager for Sales, will now be director of International Sales and Licensing as Bill Klingensmith prepares to retire in 2018. Mike Haupt, who you may know as a former sales person presently in a leadership post at the Carlisle plant, will replace Glenn as eastern regional manager for Sales.  Thank you for your continued support in 2018 and beyond. We hope to see you in Dana Point!
