Company Announcement
Web-Cote Industries, a private label manufacturer of glue products for the pest control industry, is excited to announce that long time employee Susan Masciarelli has acquired the company from former owner James Cowen.
Mr. Cowen has been semi-retired for several years now, during which time Ms. Masciarelli, in her role as the Vice President/General Manager, has been running the company along with the Operations Manager, Andrew Kozdron. With this change in ownership, Ms. Masciarelli will now hold the title of President & CEO, while Mr. Kozdron has been promoted to the role of Vice President of Operations.
“I have always treated Web-Cote like it was my own, because it has long been my dream that someday it would be,” said Ms. Masciarelli, who joined the company in 2008.
“Many years ago, I told Jim that when he was ready to sell, I would appreciate the right of first refusal, and when the opportunity finally came, we were able to make a deal that was mutually beneficial to each of us.”
With this purchase, Ms. Masciarelli joins a very small, but growing, group of women owned manufacturers in the US. According to MNI, the nation’s oldest and largest compiler and publisher of industrial information, only 2% of all manufacturing companies in the country are women-owned. Internal data analysis of manufacturers specific to the pest control industry put woman owned manufacturers at just under 10%. “It gives me a deep sense of pride to be able to say that Web-Cote is a woman owned business. I am excited for the opportunities this distinction will afford us,” said Ms. Masciarelli.”
