In August 2022, ITW Air Management and Pillar Technologies underwent a new leadership structure, led by one Business Unit Manager, Tyler Derus. In the six months since assuming the role, significant analysis and attention was taken to understand the most compelling organizational structure to best support customers and adapt to an everchanging marketplace.

“Through our analysis we found substantial commonalities in customer needs by channel – end-users, OEMs, and distributors,” explained Tyler Derus, Business Unit Manager. “We believe by reorganizing our sales resources around customer types, we can focus our team on providing the optimal customer experience.”

Doug Biggs was appointed to lead the Pillar and ITW Air Management sales organizations including sales and applications personnel. Biggs joined Pillar Technologies in 2021 as the Treater Sales Manager and demonstrated an ability to connect customer needs with organizational capabilities to develop value added solutions for customers.

ITW Air Management and Pillar Technologies encompass four brands: Paxton Products, Pillar Treaters, Pillar Sealers, and Vortec. The team is comprised of sales engineers focused on customer channels and application engineers focused on product lines:

• Rick Immell will lead Paxton Products end-user sales as well as OEM sales for Paxton Products, Pillar Sealers, and Vortec.

• Brad Budde will cover end user sales for Pillar Sealers, as well as end user sales in the Upper Midwest for Paxton Products and Pillar Treaters.
