Davis-Standard Announces Passing of Vannais and Polewchak
(Pawcatuck, Conn.) - It is with deep regret that Davis-Standard, LLC reports the passing of long-time employee Stephen Vannais and valued sales representative James Polewchak.
Vannais was a veteran of the wire and cable industry for over 36 years. He was a 16-year veteran of Davis-Standard and operated out of his home office in Mooresville, North Carolina. Vannais handled wire and cable accounts in the southern United States and Eastern Europe. He assisted customers with everything from line configuration to engineering documentation and project follow up, giving him a broad and valuable understanding of Davis-Standard's technology. Experience outside Davis-Standard included management and engineering positions with Northampton Machinery Company, Nokia-Maillefer, Inc., Reichhold Chemicals and TRW/Holyoke Wire and Cable. Vannais is survived by his wife, Beth, and his son, Eric.
Polewchak was the President of JP Industrial Technologies, Inc. located in Midlothian, Texas. Established in December 2001, JP Industrial Technologies represented equipment for the plastics industry. Polewchak was Davis-Standard's wire and cable representative for Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas since June 2003. He is survived by his wife, Kelly.
The passing of these men will be a loss not only to Davis-Standard, but to the entire plastics extrusion industry. For more information, contact John Zachow, Vice President, Wire and Cable Systems at jzachow@davis-standard.com.
