Mark Wierda has been hired as Senior Account Manager with responsibility for the Southeast U.S. and certain key accounts. Wierda has over 25 years of industry-related experience, including many years in the janitorial supplies industry.

“I have always respected Dri-Eaz as a company and the products they make,” said Wierda. “They’re successful in their industry for a reason.”

“Mark brings tremendous enthusiasm and experience to the table,” said Steve Fane, Sales Manager at Dri-Eaz. “His broad knowledge of the market and of closely related industries makes him a valuable part of the team.”

Wierda is based in Holland, Michigan, and will cover the southern region of the U.S. – Texas through the Carolinas – as well as key Dri-Eaz customers nationwide.

“I really wanted to work for an industry-leading company with a solid reputation in the marketplace,” said Armstrong. “I did a lot of research on Dri-Eaz and talked to some friends who own a restoration franchise. They said it would be the best career decision I could ever make.”

Armstrong is responsible for accounts in the Midwest and New England areas. “Keith is competitive and a team player,” said Fane. “These traits are a great combination for Dri-Eaz culture and the very competitive restoration market.”
