Qualitor Announces New Chief for Pylon
Qualitor, Inc., a leading producer and distributor of aftermarket parts for the automotive and medium to heavy-truck vehicles, has chosen Charles Tornabene to be the new chief for Pylon Manufacturing.
Pylon Manufacturing Corporation, an ISO 9001-certified division of the Qualitor family of automotive companies, is a successful automotive aftermarket supplier that focuses its specialty on the engineering and marketing of wiper blades and tire care products. Relatively, Pylon had to undergo some considerable regrouping upon the departure of then President David Peace as the latter moves into Wells Manufacturing to become its new Chief Executive Officer. And so, after careful deliberation, the Qualitor group finally finds the right man for the job in the form of Tornabene.
In reference to his impressive professional background, Charles A. Tornabene comes into Pylon from an exceptional stint as President of Simoniz USA, Inc. He can be considered as the brains behind the triumphant reintroduction of Simoniz automotive appearance products to the industry. Prior to Simoniz, Tornabene also enjoyed 19 years with Turtle Wax, Inc., the final eleven years serving as its President and Chief Operations Officer. Other notable history of experience includes Sales and Marketing positions with Texise Chemicals (now called Dow Chemical) and the Campbell Soup Company.
As comment to this new addition, Qualitor CEO Dick Snell is pleased to announce: “We are excited to have an executive of Chuck’s experience and market knowledge join Pylon. Chuck is a natural leader with an unmatched depth of experience in very similar categories. I am confident that he will accelerate the already high-growth of Michelin Wiper Blades and automotive appearance products.”
