YAKIMA, WA – Kwik Lok, a leading global supplier of bag closures, has welcomed Stephanie “Steph” Wyjadka as the regional sales manager for the Northeast region. She succeeds Phil Pettine, who is retiring from the company after 29 years of service.
Pettine, who joined the company in 1995, established a strong foundation in the Northeast market for Kwik Lok. In 2010, he leveraged his adaptability to changing markets by expanding his territory to include the mid-Atlantic region.
“Phil’s dedication to Kwik Lok, creative mindset and commitment to customer success have been instrumental to Kwik Lok’s advancements over the last three decades,” said Blair Chastain, chief revenue officer for Kwik Lok. “We are incredibly grateful for his contributions and wish him well in his retirement.”
Throughout his tenure, Pettine drove value to customers across multiple regions, the company stated, describing his participation in Kwik Lok’s expansion and growth.
In her new role as regional sales manager based in Philadelphia, Wyjadka will focus on expanding Kwik Lok’s market share in the Northeast and building on the company’s strong reputation for innovation and customer service.
“As we celebrate Phil’s legacy, we welcome Steph Wyjadka,” Chastain said. “Her experience and enthusiasm will be instrumental in building on Phil’s success in the region.”
Wyjadka has held previous positions as business development representative at MSC Industrial Supply and account manager for Kimberly-Clark Professional.
“I’m thrilled to join the Kwik Lok team and look forward to contributing to our continued success in the Northeast,” Wyjadka said. “This position offers a great opportunity to build on our strong customer relationships and continue delivering exceptional service.”
