Oatey Co., a leading manufacturer in the plumbing industry since 1916, has announced the promotion of Patrick Aquino to vice president of sales, wholesale plumbing.

Aquino joined Oatey nearly five years ago as Northeast Regional sales manager and has since gained progressive responsibility as national sales manager and, most recently, director of rough plumbing and commercial sales. With more than 15 years of experience in sales and business development, he will use his deep knowledge of the plumbing industry to lead Oatey’s regional sales managers, commercial sales team and showroom sales team. Aquino reports to Brian DiVincenzo, president of wholesale and commercial.

“During his tenure at Oatey, Patrick has shown an acumen for growing business and fostering meaningful relationships within the wholesale plumbing channel,” said DiVincenzo. “As Oatey continues on its growth journey, I am confident in Patrick’s ability to continue to provide strong leadership and drive results for our organization.”
