Gene Demestre is planning on shaking up sales at
Twitchell
Twitchell announced on April 1st, 2019 that Gene Demestre has joined
the Twitchell Family as the VP of Sales for the Solar Protection
Division. Gene brings a plethora of knowledge and experience in the
industry with him to Twitchell. He has been in the shading industry for
37 years, many of those years were spent owning his own fabrication
company, Vimco, that he later sold to Lutron in 2000. Gene didn’t stop
there, he still had work to do.
After selling his company, he went on to work for a number of
companies in the interior shading industry, all the while achieving
impressive feats like owning three of his own patents.
His impressive work history speaks for itself. Gene not only owned
Vimco for 19 years, but he also established Alkenz Fabrics in 2011,
served as the VP of Sales and Marketing for QMotion, and was the VP of
Business Development for Legrand Shading until 2018. Now, as the new VP
of Sales for Solar Protection, Gene says he is most excited for “the
numerous opportunities that exist to drive our products into different
channels.”
