Jaeger-UniTek Sealing Solutions, a supplier of rubber and plastic extrusions located in La Porte, Indiana, promoted Colton Phelan, Kyle Upp and Owen Strieter to key sales leadership roles.
Phelan is now vice president of sales. In this role, the company stated Phelan will manage the development of new sealing solutions to serve automotive, industrial and RV customers. Upp and Strieter are now promoted to market managers in the company’s RV division.
Kevin Casey, Jaeger-UniTek president, said Phelan helped customers develop “best-in-class” sealing products and created an outstanding sales organization for the company.
“His automotive, industrial and recreational vehicle background,” Casey said, “combined with his polymeric technical skills in material selection, profile geometries and sealing applications, position him to multiply results with our customers in innovating new profile extrusion solutions.”
Upp and Strieter joined Jaeger-UniTek in 2021 as key account managers serving the RV market with Flip ‘N Seal, a patented state-of-the-art slide out sealing system. Upp lives in La Porte and is a graduate of Purdue University. Strieter is a La Porte resident and graduate of Indiana University.
Phelan said Jaeger-UniTek customers continue to rapidly adopt and expand their use of Flip ‘N Seal products across many RV vehicle platforms.
“Both Kyle and Owen are naturals to be promoted to market managers in helping both our exclusive OEM distribution partner, Collins and Company and our customers solve their most challenging RV sealing applications,” Phelan said. “Both Kyle and Owen are highly motivated and thoroughly enjoy assisting customers in the conversion to the Flip ‘N Seal integrated slide out sealing system.”
