“We are exceptionally proud to welcome Greg and Matthew to PlugsSafety,” said SPG Co- founder and CEO Bill Brauner. “Based on Greg’s past success, we are confident he will help us open new of points of distribution while creating an exceptional sales team. Matthew, who has extensive international experience within the industry, will be responsible for hiring distributors in 50 countries. He will attend the A+A Industrial show in Germany this November to meet with international safety leaders and retailers.”
