“With our current growth, we took this opportunity to split the Midwest region. This will allow us to have better alignment for our growing portfolio and customer base,” said Justin Watts, national sales manager for Prime Source. “We are thrilled to bring on two highly experienced individuals who will continue building upon the successful relationships in these territories.”

Daugherty will be responsible for Minn., Iowa, Mo., N.D., S.D., Neb. and Kan., and Rom will be responsible for Texas, Okla., Ark., N.M., and Colo.
