M-D PRO announces new hires

[Mississauga, Ore.] M-D PRO, previously known as Loxcreen Flooring Group, has announced the addition of three new people to their U.S. sales team.

Mark Albonetti was the first to take on the new position of PROVA installation & technical specialist in late 2016, the company said. “It’s exciting to be with a company as innovative and forward thinking as M-D PRO. We currently have much to offer distributors and contractors and with many new products coming soon,” Albonetti commented.

According to the company, Matt Bartkowski joined the M-D PRO team in March 2017 as the ceramic territory manager for the North East. “I like the variety that comes with the job, the fact that I get to interact with so many different elements of the industry (distribution, A&D, retailers, installers, end users) really motivates me," Bartkowski said. "I am looking forward to advancing the growth of the PROVA brand and product line in the North East”.

Lisa Schaffer is the most recent addition to the M-D PRO team and was brought on as the territory manager responsible for Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Western Pennsylvania, the company announced.

“I have watched many changes take place in the industry over my many years. New technologies and new methods have developed and made tile a more affordable option for the average homeowner and more work for the industry as a whole," Schaffer said. "I have really enjoyed being integrally involved with helping make sure those changes are good for the industry, especially the people that take the most fire, installers. I feel that I have helped the industry produce more reliable product, brought well organized standards to the industry and grow the industry as a whole.”

M-D PRO is a division of M-D Building Products.
