GRAPHICS PRO has restructured its sales force into five new sales territories.

Heading this entire effort is James “Ruggs” Kochevar, director of sales. Kochevar formerly acted as director of sales for GRAPHICS PRO EXPO (GPX). 

“Kochevar brings extensive knowledge of the people, products, and processes that make up the GRAPHICS PRO supply chain, a keen eye for maximizing new and existing products, the heart of a coach, and a passion for the industry. I’m excited to see how he can lead this team as GRAPHICS PRO grows with the industry we serve,” says Dave Pomeroy, president of National Business Media Inc. (NBM), the parent company of GRAPHICS PRO.

For our clients, this offers a simple approach with one key sales contact who knows them inside and out,” says Kochevar.
