YKK AP America[1] continues to grow with the appointment of Brock West as Atlanta branch manager. Brock will immediately make an impact in the Atlanta branch by overseeing all aspects of daily operations for the Southeastern region business unit covering the states of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, as well as the panhandle of Florida.

The position of operations manager for the Atlanta branch was assigned to long time company veteran Michelle Ignazio. Michelle brings significant credentials and experience to her new role having previously served in operational leadership posts both at a regional and corporate level.

“We are excited to welcome Brock to YKK AP as Atlanta branch manager and to appoint Michelle to her new role,” said Oliver Stepe, senior vice president, YKK AP America. “Brock brings an extensive amount of experience to the company, from his early career roles to recent positions in business ownership and overseeing major projects. Based on her strong vision for customer service excellence, Michelle will be a catalyst to positive change that will help the Atlanta Branch become a top performing service location and support the overall company growth objective.”

Brock is taking over the role held previously by Terry Carespodi, who assumed the position as national branch manager earlier this year. Michelle will fill the role previously held by Joey Bernard who was recently appointed as the Midwest region manager overseeing both the Cincinnati and Chicago branches.

Brock comes to YKK AP with nearly 30 years of experience in the glass industry, including early career roles in drafting and estimating, and owner of a multi-million dollar contract glazing company. Brock also served as a past president and board member of the Michigan Glass Association.
