Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) has appointed Mike Laraia to senior account manager for the company’s residential/specialty (RESP) glass business segment.

Laraia has more than 25 years of experience in multiple product segments, including mirror glass and coatings. He will use this experience to offer sales and support to residential and specialty customers in the Midwest, while connecting door and window manufacturers and specialty glass fabricators with glass products for their projects.

“Mike has demonstrated the ability to maintain great relationships with both current and prospective customers,” says Bradley P. Boone, director of the residential/specialty glass business segment for Vitro Flat Glass LLC. “His skills in sales combined with his experience serving a wide range of major industries will offer exceptional value to the clients we serve in that region of the country.”

Laraia was most recently a division manager and national sales manager for Seymour of Sycamore Inc., a manufacturer of spray paints and chemicals serving the automotive, industrial and consumer markets. Prior to that position, he spent 16 years as a national sales manager in the mirror and glass industry.
