Promotion at Parksite

Building products distributor Parksite elevated president Ron Heitzman to CEO, succeeding George A. Pattee, who will remain chairman of the board.

“With close to 17 years of proven leadership as president and CFO, Ron is a natural fit,” said Pattee. “His industry knowledge, background and strong relationships are a perfect mix to lead Parksite.”

Prior to Parksite, Heitzman enjoyed a successful consulting career helping privately held companies with growth and strategy.

“I came to Parksite 17 years ago because I saw a great group of people serving their customers with industry-leading products and service,” Heitzman said. “It was just this vibrant, positive culture. Usually that combination leads to tremendous opportunities,” said Heitzman. 

In the role of CEO, Heitzman follows Pattee, John Morrisroe and Ray Biggins.

Pattee will focus on the company’s acquisition strategy, seeking candidates with matching or complementary business propositions to tie in with the present structure, the company said.

Parksite markets branded and specialty building products throughout the eastern half of the United States representing DuPont Tyvek Weatherization Systems, AZEK Building Products, and various other building products for the residential, commercial and remodeling markets.
