Protective Industrial Products, Inc. (PIP), a leading supplier of hand protection and general safety products, announces the expansion of their industrial salesforce. PIP’s recent acquisitions, including West Chester Protective Gear, QRP and Worldwide Protective Products, uniquely positioned them to capitalize on the synergies and expertise of four leading Safety organizations to deliver one of the largest salesforces in the PPE industry.
The expansion includes an increase in the number of dedicated Regional Sales Managers in the field to provide greater customer intimacy and support along with the introduction of Vertical Specialists to complement Regional Sales Managers and agency representatives. Vertical Specialists will provide subject matter expertise to distributors in specialized channels and to distributors with end-users who have complex safety needs. Strategic accounts will continue to be supported by Strategic Account Managers, Key Account Managers and Field Specialists. PIP is also investing in their Inside Sales team to service specialty distributors. Altogether, these enhancements amount to a salesforce of more than 200 salespeople.
