Lakeland, Florida based industrial painting contractor announces expansion west to Texas as sales and construction activities in the Water and Waste Water industry continue to increase. Universal Painting Corporation, a premium painting contractor with its corporate office located in Lakeland, Florida and offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Lake Ridge, Virginia employs a large array of construction and painting specialists in estimating, safety management, concrete finishing, project management, sand blasting, pressure washing and skilled tank painting applicators.
We have seen the high demand in this market and after a few years of evaluation and monitoring bidding opportunities, we identified a candidate to operate this division and pleased with the recent appointment. Hiring the right person was the only thing holding us back from expanding. I am very pleased that after working together for 25 years in the industry that we have the right senior manager in place. Mike’s approach to construction leadership combines developing innovative sales solutions with scalable processes while building high performing teams is exactly what we needed for Texas. Michael has the leadership experience and proven sales track record in our industry but more importantly the water and waste water knowledge which is exactly what we need as we take our business to the next level”, said John Aldrich, President, UPC.
Most recently, Mike was a dedicated Water-Wastewater-Sewer Infrastructure Coating Specialist with The Sherwin Williams Company where after 33 years of dedicated service decided to retire. After talking with John on several occasions Mike has decided to continue to direct his efforts and stay in the water and waste water business. I am excited about this opportunity and the ability to build, direct, manage and operate the Texas Division at Universal Painting, said Mike. It is going to be great working with John and the many members of his management team and experienced employees that I have worked with over the past many years and I am looking forward to this great opportunity.
