I believe Gus“ energy, years of experience in the industry and management skills suit our needs perfectly. Reporting to Gus will be all of EPG“s sales and marketing personnel. With Gus as our champion, I am confident that he and his new team are up to the task of driving profitable sales. The company also announced that David Marlar was promoted to general manager – Truseal, and he will assume most of Coppola“s former responsibilities.
