Palmer-Donavin appointed Tom Bartlett to the role of vice president of operations. The company announced an organizational restructure earlier in 2021, with the integration of customer service teams and sales management.
According to the company, the internal updates have proven to offer the desired results and enabled the team to “leverage strengths between building materials and door divisions.” The creation of the vice president of operations role was the latest step of Palmer-Donavin’s integration efforts, according to a news release.
“I’m excited about Tom’s new role and added responsibility,” Matt Butzier, COO of Palmer-Donavin, said in a news release. “Tom brings a wealth of experience and an excellent track record of developing processes and procedures that focuses on continued improvement and employee development. Tom will help to unify our operations teams while focusing on a singular goal of servicing our customers’ changing needs.”
Bartlett said while Palmer-Donavin has two distinct models for its building materials and door divisions, “the goal is to achieve economies of scale.”
“We plan to build on our synergies, develop best practices, and achieve more efficient processes,” Bartlett said. “These, among other initiatives, will allows us to continue to be a leader in our industry and offer best-in-class customer service.”
Columbus, Ohio-based Palmer-Donavin is a distributor of building materials and a door fabricator.
