“On this occasion, I am filled with both pride in our past and anticipation of our team’s future achievements,” said founder and Chairman Ben Milazzo. “More than anything, I am grateful for the confidence and loyal partnership of our long-term customers. We are truly indebted to those who gave us our start and enabled us to become the global supplier of chemical additives we are today.”

Mayzo’s new President, Eduardo Padilla, commented, “What sets Mayzo apart from the customer view is our expertise and focus on specialty chemical additives, which are a vital ingredient in any modern manufacturing process. With our diverse capabilities, we are able to supply additives without interruption even during times of shortages, and innovate better ways for our customers to use these products.”

To meet the growing demand for additives, Mayzo recently opened an Operations Center in Walterboro, South Carolina. At over 61,000 square feet, the facility houses a warehouse, a chemical laboratory and production operations. Mayzo now has additional capacity to provide its value-added services such as repackaging, additive blending and other customized solutions — on both a small and large scale. The Operations Center has already achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification.

With the appointments of Padilla and Schoolcraft, the company announced that it has successfully completed its succession plan. Padilla, Schoolcraft and Chief Financial Officer James H. Jones will now manage the day-to-day business operations of Mayzo. Ben Milazzo remains the Chairman of the Board, and Valarie Milazzo is Vice Chairman.
