LIVONIA, MI -- Virginia Tile promoted Chad Treuthart to general manager. Formerly the vice president of residential sales, Treuthart has played a pivotal role in Virginia Tile’s growth over the past three years. In his new capacity, Treuthart will oversee territory management, product and marketing. This structure is designed to enhance cross-departmental collaboration, aligning the company’s product and marketing strategies more effectively.   

Additionally, Treuthart will work closely with our customer service teams and showrooms, while focusing on strengthening relationships with specifiers, dealers and contractors.
