Atlanta - Atlas Roofing begins 2013 by deploying key personnel and assets to increase activity and excitement for residential building product sales and customer service in the Northeast US. In March 2012 the company opened a distribution facility in Philadelphia which grew steadily thanks to the efforts of Atlas Midwest Region Manager John Maloney and the outstanding northeast customers who work with Atlas on a regular basis. Beginning in March 2013, Stanley Bastek will continue momentum in the region as he assumes the position of Northeast Region Manager. Stan brings six years of experience with Atlas and a comprehensive background which enables him to quickly facilitate opportunities among Atlas dealer channels, the contractor market, builders, specifiers and end users. Stan joined Atlas in 2007 as a temporary administrative assistant, and was quickly promoted to the marketing department, where he led several key projects tied in with Internet marketing, contractor programs, customer events and the national launch of Atlas Scotchgard™ products. Stan currently transitions from a dual role of Marketing and Communications Manager for the Atlas Residential Division and District Sales Manager for Georgia. He will relocate in March, along with his wife and two children, to the Philadelphia area. Stan is a University of Michigan graduate, receiving an MBA from Shorter University in 2010. In the same year he also received the Atlas President’s award. “Our rapidly growing facility in the Northeast along with placing key Atlas people in the region is an opportunity to continue demonstrating our ability and commitment to be nimble and responsive to anyone who works with Atlas, anywhere in North America,” stated Kirk Villar, Vice President, Residential Sales and Marketing. Other key moves early in the year for Atlas include Jay Linley, who replaces Stan as District Manager for Georgia. Jay holds a BA in marketing form Mississippi State and brings more than 20 years of residential roofing product sales to his new role. Clay Pruitt also becomes District Manager for Atlas in Mississippi and Louisiana. He completes five years with Atlas, 10 years in roofing, and received a “Top Gun” award from Atlas in 2012 for outstanding performance.
