Coatings company Propspeed has appointed Joe Mercurio as its new Gulf Coast sales manager and technical support. In his new role, Mercurio will work with distributors, boat yards, dealers, marine businesses, applicators and customers across the Gulf Coast, strengthening regional relationships and providing sales and technical support.
Mercurio brings over 20 years of marine industry experience to Propspeed, spanning sales channel and brand management with firms including Yanmar Marine International B.V.
Marcus Hamilton, CEO, Propspeed, says: “Our partners have come to value the experience of our technical sales team, who understand their business and their customers, share their passion for boating and are committed to their success. Joe’s marine industry experience, sales background and deep ties to the Gulf Coast make him a strong fit for our team and the partners we serve. His professionalism, energy and drive will strengthen the support we provide to marine distributors, marine businesses and applicators across the region. We’re pleased to welcome Joe to Propspeed.”
Hamilton spoke to MIN about the business and his plans as CEO last year.
“My love of boating and fishing started young, and my best memories were made on the water with family and friends. Working in the marine industry lets me pass that on, introducing new people to the water and helping them enjoy it,” Mercurio says. “Propspeed is leading the industry with products that deliver and a team that stands behind them. That’s exactly the kind of company I’m excited to be part of. I’m looking forward to bringing that Gold Standard experience to the Gulf Coast, strengthening relationships with our distributors, marine business owners, and applicators, and ensuring they have everything they need to deliver the performance, expertise and reliable support that Propspeed is known for.”
