Miller has served as Stanley’s director of international sales for the past two years. He also has worked as an international account executive for Cone Mills and director of purchasing for Lackawanna Leather.
“Ray has been an integral part of implementing new processes in our Young America sales efforts,†said Glenn Prillaman, senior vice president of sales and marketing for the Young America juvenile line and the adult Stanley Collections wood line. “Brad has successfully heightened our visibility in the foreign marketplace and extended our distribution network into other countries.â€Â Â
