“We are delighted to bring such an accomplished sales executive to our team,” said Jim Pletcher, Vice President of Sales. “Wade will be replacing Steve Adams, Senior Director, Wholesale Sales, who will be retiring.

We are very happy to have the caliber and experience Wade brings to his new position.”
“I am extremely excited to be joining BrassCraft Manufacturing’s highly experienced, professional sales team,” says Long. “I’m proud to promote and sell the industry-leading products of a prominent, innovative American manufacturer, and to be part of the multitude of jobs those sales create for our manufacturing facilities across the U.S.”
