GLEN RAVEN, NC – Trivantage™ LLC, the nation’s largest distributor of specialty fabrics and associated products, got a little bigger this week with the addition of two new sales veterans. Jon Scuncio (pictured) and Brad Palm joined the company’s growing division of shade products under the Solair® Shade Solutions brand of awnings and exterior shade products. 

Scuncio and Palm will focus on sales and installation training for retail associates to help grow awning and fabric kiosk sales in the patio retail channel. Additionally, Scuncio and Palm will identify and implement strategies to improve quality of service and productivity for customers, sales representatives, and consumers. 

“Adding Jon and Brad to the team strengthens our ability to develop and grow the Solair awning program to ensure patio retailers have the knowledge and tools needed to successfully sell our high-quality shade solutions,” said Rett Haigler, business manager of Solair. “Already possessing strong sales and management backgrounds, they have worked hard to become fully engrossed in the Solair business and our product line. We’re excited to have them on our team and look forward to what the future holds for the patio retail channel.” 

Before joining Solair, Scuncio served as commercial sales manager at Gale Pacific USA, a global marketer and manufacturer of branded screening and shading products. While there he established, managed, and serviced commercial accounts across North America. 

Palm served as a major accounts district manager at Automatic Data Processing, a business outsourcing and human capital management firm. Palm also served as an outside sales representative for Trivantage for two years prior to his time at ADP.
