Synalloy Corporation has appointed John Zuppo as executive vice president of Synalloy Chemicals, effective November 12, 2021. With this appointment, all of Synalloy?s chemicals subsidiaries will now report directly to Zuppo. With over 20 years of executive leadership experience and an extensive background in the specialty chemicals industry, Zuppo was formerly the CEO of DanChem, which Synalloy acquired on October 25th. While at the helm of DanChem, Zuppo led an effective turnaround of the business and more than doubled profitability prior to the successful exit. He accomplished this through reorganizing the entire leadership team, investing in engineering and process development capabilities, building a robust sales funnel with a new commercial team that generated long-term sustainable growth, and creating a culture with core pillars of focus on fostering empowerment and accountability throughout the organization. Prior to DanChem, Zuppo spent nearly a decade in various leadership roles at Emerald Performance Materials, a leading producer of advanced specialty chemicals. Synalloy?s former executive vice president of the chemicals segment, Dave Kuzy, will be stepping down from his position in conjunction with Zuppo?s appointment.
