Belco Forest Products names new director of sales

Belco Forest Products, the Shelton, Washington-based manufacturer of treated exterior trim and fascia products, announced that Baxter Reimer has been promoted to director of sales.

Reimer is responsible for overseeing national sales and sales strategy, as well as managing the Belco sales team, the company said. His history and experience in construction, industry knowledge, and success with the company landed him the promotion. 

“I am pleased to announce this senior leadership promotion,” said Michael Richardson, chief operating officer of Belco Forest Products. “Baxter is a proven leader who has built a reputation for delivering exemplary customer service backed by a strong commitment to operational excellence.” 

Reimer’s experience working as a carpenter for a custom home builder while attending Washington State University prepared him for his career in the forest products industry. Upon graduation, he accepted a position as a superintendent for a home builder who used Belco XT Products.

In 2017, Reimer began working with Belco as the Pacific Northwest Market development manager. Over the last six years, Reimer has developed many strong relationships within the industry while growing his territories.

“I am extremely excited for the opportunity to lead, coach, and grow our world class sales team into an unstoppable force in the market,” Reimer says. “We have a great company and great products to stand behind. I look forward to building and strengthening our relationships in all markets with our current and future industry partners. My strong belief is that you have to create your own luck.”
