Spinner: Sales, Operations to Drive Growth



Acknowledging the role of Robert C. Sledd, chairman of the third largest U.S. distributorship according to the 2006 ID Top 50 Report, as "great friend and great mentor," Spinner said: "On the business front, we've invested pretty heavily over the past year in our sales force and in operational initiatives to improve our business, and we're now beginning to see results. We're headed in the right direction, we've got a strong team in place, and I'm optimistic that our greatest growth opportunities lie ahead."
