January 31, 2012 (Trenton, NJ) Switlik Parachute Company is pleased to welcome Mr. Anthony Florio as the newest member of its Sales Department, effective January 30, 2012. Mr. Florio brings 13 years of experience in selling lifesaving equipment components in all the same markets that Switlik currently serves (Military, Aviation and Marine). Switlik also announces the retirement of long time Aviation Sales Manager, Ms. Kathleen Kalinowski, after 28 years of distinguished service to the company. Ms. Kalinowski helped transform Switlik from largely a military products manufacturer to a diversified worldwide competitor in the aviation, marine and military markets.
Ed Vienckowski, VP of Sales and Marketing for Switlik, had this to say upon making the announcement: “We are thrilled to add someone the caliber of Anthony Florio to our Sales team. Anthony brings a wealth of experience in all our current markets, and is well familiar with our customer base, having served many of these same customers throughout his career. At the same time, the departure of Kathleen Kalinowski is bittersweet. We certainly wish Kathleen all the best in her new pursuits, and thank her for all her contributions to Switlik’s past success. Kathleen will be sorely missed, but rest assured our Sales team of Andrew Goetting, Marie Gowen and Anthony Florio, along Michael Dilts and myself will ensure the same level of customer service that all have come to expect from Switlik.”
