Coast Southwest: appointed David K. Hoff to vice president of regional operations. He will continue to lead company operations, including customer service, for the Placentia, CA facility and all other Coast Southwest locations except the territory served by the Arlington, TX branch.
Formerly, Hoff was Coast’s director of operations. In addition to the new duties, he also directs several corporate functions including procurement and the company’s National Association of Chemical Distributors’ effort, where he is currently serving as that organization’s western region president.
Prior to joining Coast Southwest, Hoff spent more than 18 years with Chemcentral culminating in the role of regional vice president. Coast Southwest also welcomed back Richard D. Hersey as senior director of business development for personal care. He is based in Placentia, CA.
Hersey will be responsible for identifying and developing opportunities within the personal care industry, Coast Southwest’s primary market segment. In doing so, he will work closely with Coast’s product line managers and sales team to promote the company’s specialty ingredient portfolio and to acquire new customers. Hersey will also play an instrumental role in the formulation and implementation of the company’s market strategy for personal care.
Prior to rejoining Coast Southwest, Hersey served as vice president of sales at Ross Organic since 2008. Before that, he worked for seven years at Rohm & Haas Company, since acquired by The Dow Chemical Company, as senior account manager selling personal care preservatives, hair fixatives, rheology modifiers and sunscreen ingredients to health and beauty customers.
