Winco Window Company, a St. Louis-based manufacturer of architectural and commercial aluminum windows, has announced that its vice president Joe Dietz will be now managing its Midwest sales operations, replacing Tim Cox, who has retired.
Dietz, who has been with Winco for 11 years, will work as an independent rep covering Missouri, Southern Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska. He will continue to support his current Winco responsibilities until September 2021. Dietz is also opening his own independent company, Dietz Architectural Products LLC, which he believes will allow him to better serve Winco customers directly.
“With his extensive knowledge of the company, estimating and technical aspects of aluminum windows, we believe that Joe will continue to be a great value to Winco customers,” says Bill Krenn, president of Winco. “His skill set is unique, and we are confident he’ll bring insight to the architectural community we serve.”
“I have always had a passion to problem solve and build relationships,” says Dietz of the new career step. “Last fall, I was cleaning out our basement and found a box of papers that I wrote in college. One was a career planning paper, where I wrote that when I am 45, I will own my own company. Then Tim (Cox) announced his retirement, and the opportunity was there.”
