Endries Names Former Home Depot Exec as New Sales Leader

Endries International has appointed Wally Tappe as its new Vice President of Sales. Tappe brings over two decades of sales leadership experience to his new role, having previously worked in The Home Depot's wholesale division and as Director of Sales at HD Supply.

In these positions, he led teams across multiple states, expanded outside sales forces, and established sales processes and market execution capabilities. Endries President and CEO Dan Crociata praised Tappe for his experience growing distribution businesses and building winning teams.

Tappe's appointment follows Endries' acquisition of Blue Chip Engineered Products in July. The company operates 28 distribution centers across North America and Europe, managing over 800,000 SKUs.
