The Board of Directors of Anvil Paint & Coatings has promoted Glenn R. Roth to the position of Chief Executive Officer. Roth has worked to develop the Anvil brand for 16 years, and in that time has been present for Anvil’s most recent expansions as the company now occupies more than 55,000 square feet on five acres to produce for national paint and market channels.

Roth’s executive promotion was accompanied by the introduction of new president, Kurt D. Schwahn. With more than 20 years of expertise in senior sales and major consumer good manufacturing, Schwahn is the former director of regional and national sales and development for such prestigious organizations as Stanley Black & Decker and Newell Rubbermaid.  

“I’m excited by the opportunity to help Anvil expand its existing product offering and to drive new growth initiatives” Schwahn said. “This is a tremendous opportunity to provide additional product solutions to our customers, while maintaining industry leadership in both service levels and product expertise.”

“I look forward to working with Kurt as we move into an exciting and dynamic phase of our organization,” Roth said.  “Kurt has an excellent skill set and the expertise to deliver the leadership, strategic vision and product innovation that will position our company to meet and exceed the needs of our customers, both at the contractor and retail level.”
