MuleHide announced the appointment of two new territory managers. Efren Arroyo has joined the company as territory manager for North and West Texas, and Kevin Stanton has joined MuleHide as territory manager for Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri.

As the company’s lead contact with customers in North and West Texas, Arroyo’s responsibilities include helping ensure that projects are completed efficiently and according to specification, working with contractors and ABC Supply Co. Inc. branch teams to develop the best solutions to meet property owners’ roofing needs, and providing ongoing product, technical and sales training for contractors and ABC Supply associates.

A nearly 30-year veteran of the roofing business, Arroyo comes to MuleHide from Beacon Building Products, where he was a branch manager in El Paso, Texas. He worked for ABC Supply for nearly 16 years, most of them as a branch manager or outside sales associate in California, Florida, and Texas. He has extensive experience on the manufacturing side of the industry, including sales and branch management positions with Pacific Award Metals, Steeler Construction Supply, Southeastern Metals Manufacturing Co., Monier LifeTile LLC, Tremron Group, and Boral. He was a field supervisor with Petersen Dean Inc., which was one of Southern California’s largest track roofers at that time, and was a territory sales manager with Suncoast Roofers Supply Inc. in Miami.

“Three decades in roofing – spanning distribution, manufacturing and contracting – has given Efren deep product and technical knowledge and a great understanding of what everyone involved in a project needs,” said Lane Reed, regional director for the Southwest. “He has a strong track record of success as a leader and has demonstrated his ability to forge strong relationships with customers and colleagues. We look forward to having him bring those skills and experiences to North and West Texas.”

As territory manager for Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri, Stanton is the company’s lead contact with contractors in the three states. He will help ensure that projects are completed efficiently and according to specification. Additionally, he will work with contractors and ABC Supply Co. Inc. branch teams to develop the best solutions to meet property owners’ roofing needs, as well as provide ongoing product, technical, and sales training for contractors and ABC Supply associates.

Stanton comes to MuleHide after more than 17 years with ABC Supply, where he served as an outside sales associate in the company’s branch on E. Washington Ave. in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Prior to that, he was a sales associate with SPEC Building Materials Corp. in North Little Rock. He also owned and operated Stanton Construction, a small construction firm that contracted with larger, established firms. Stanton has a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in business marketing from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas.

“Kevin has spent the last 20 years in the building materials distribution industry and, before that, was a successful contractor,” said Lane Reed, regional director for the Southwest. “He has deep technical expertise and first-hand knowledge of what our contractors and distributors need from their manufacturer partners. He has also proven his ability to build strong relationships. We’re excited to have him put those experiences and skills to work serving our customers in the Southwest region.”
