Force Control Industries announces the retirement of sales and marketing leader Stan Porter who will depart at the end of the year.  Porter was a longtime fixture on the sales team, having held several sales positions over the past three-plus decades, including VP of Sales & Marketing, and most recently Marketing Manager.  Mike Fox will take over Porter’s Midwestern sales territory, while Tony Stoner will assume his marketing responsibilities.  With his newfound time, Porter plans to spend more time traveling for pleasure and with family.  His last day at force Control is December 30.

Porter started at Force Control in 1986 and has held various sales and marketing positions throughout that time, including territory sales manager, national sales manager, and VP of Sales & Marketing.  With a front-row seat, he participated in the technology changes that reshaped the industry including the creation of the company’s first website along with each successive version and update.  In addition, he’s developed published marketing materials, advertising campaigns, videos, and more.

“Stan has guided us through the many technology changes which have dramatically changed the way we take our message to the marketplace,” said VP of Sales and Marketing Tony Stoner.  “We wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement.”
