DistributorsServices-126217275.jpg
October 11, 2019

STAMFORD, CT – Azelis Americas CASE LLC has appointed four new members to the Western Region technical sales team. Ashley Spittle has joined the company as Technical Sales Representative in Southern California. Rachel Davis has joined the company as Technical Sales Representative in Colorado. Seth Arnold has joined the team as Inside Technical Sales Representative in Santa Fe Springs, California, and Trushita Patel was promoted to Techincal Sales Representative covering the Los Angeles Metro area.

Dan Gruber, Managing Director, Azelis Americas CASE, commented, “Azelis Americas CASE West continues on very a successful growth trajectory. In order to meet the increased sales demand of our growing business, we have added three new technical sales members to the Western team. We are excited for these technically trained sales professionals to help our customers and principals meet their business objectives.”

Prior to joining Azelis, Spittle was an Account Manager in the Advanced Materials Division at Horn (IMCD), winning a gold and bronze award for her top performance. She began her career at Horn in 2012 in the customer service department and sales coordinator role for the Composites and Fabrication Division. She is an active member in the Southern California section of the Society of Plastic Engineers, most recently serving as President of the section. Prior to this role in the society, she was the President of the Next Generation Advisory Board, a division of SPE geared towards young, upcoming plastics professionals.

Davis joins Azelis from Imerys Performance Additives where she was a Distributor and Customer Service Manager. Davis has over 18 years of experience with Imerys Talc America (formerly known as Luzenac America and Rio Tinto Minerals). She began her career as a Polymer Chemist in the Luzenac America Inc. R&D facility.

Arnold comes to Azelis from adhesives industry distributor E.V. Roberts, where he sold epoxies, silicones, urethanes, surface treatment and other adhesive/chemical kits to aerospace, electronics, automotive and specialty goods customers in the Los Angeles area.

Patel has been with Azelis Americas Case for five years as an Inside Sales Representative and was promoted earlier this year to Techincal Sales Representative covering the Los Angeles Metro area.  Patel has 15 years of experience in sales, account management and purchasing roles within the chemical manufacturing business.
