Casella USA announces the promotion of Bob Selwyn to take over the role of Vice President for Sales and Marketing of the North American operation for the company as from the beginning of March. Bob will succeed Steve Bowers who moves on to new pasture as from the end of February 2004.

Bob has many years of experience with the CEL division of the Casella organization specializing in the noise side of the business. He has most recently been in the USA west coast office in Vacaville, CA where he has been assisting distributors and customers make the most out of their Casella and CEL products.

The promotion will involve Bob relocating to the company's main office in Amherst, NH so a long journey to the other coast will be coming up for Bob as soon as things settle down for him. Bob said recently "I am really looking forward to this move as it will be an exciting challenge for me to move back to the North East again after spending the last two and a half years in California." 2004 also marks another important "change" for Bob as he will be remarrying in San Francisco before the big journey back to New England. He would like to thank all the people that he has been involved with over the last few years for their support and kind words and looks forward to continued interaction with everyone on both a business and a personal level.

Bob can be contacted at the West Coast office in the interim at 1 (877) 299-2966 or by email at bobselwyn@casellausa.com.
