Pará S.p.a. and its subsidiary, Tempotest USA, has announced that Jeff Jimison, national sales director, is retiring at the end of this year. Jimison has served in his current position for the past eight years. During this time, Tempotest has experienced tremendous sales growth and has become a well-known brand in performance fabrics for inside and outside furniture, awning, and marine applications.

“The brand and the business are both doing very well and the future for Pará and Tempotest USA in North America is bright and unlimited.  I cannot envision a better time to step away and begin my personal new life adventures knowing that what I helped build at Tempotest USA will continue to grow and prosper far into the future. It has been an honor to work with such a great company that is filled with an outstanding family ownership team and a support staff that is unequaled in their knowledge and passion for the business. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the companies and individuals that gave a new brand on the market an opportunity to prove ourselves, nothing would have been possible without them” said Jimison.

“It is always difficult and very sad to say goodbye to a collaborator of the highest professional and moral values as Jeff is. Jeff Jimison, with his professionalism, his extraordinary knowledge of the product, and with his unstoppable enthusiasm, is the true architect of the success that Tempotest has had in the North American market for the last 8 years,” said Marco Parravicini, CEO of Pará. “It will not be easy to replace a professional of this level, who perhaps belongs to a textile culture that is on the verge of extinction. But in this moment of great personal sadness, I must at the same time congratulate Jeff on finishing a brilliant and rewarding career and wish him to rejoice and enjoy this new phase of life that awaits him. I am sure that a man like him will be able to make even the retirement life a unique and fulfilling experience.”
