N.H. Yates & Co., a manufacturer’s representative, and distributor of premier PHVAC and hydronic products in the eastern United States, recently announced that long-time industry sales expert Giovanni Iannuzzi has joined the company as director of PPR, Prefab and Tooling, and Northern PVF Sales.

Over the last decade and a half-plus, Iannuzzi has worked for leading distribution and manufacturing companies in the pipe valve and fitting (PVF), hydronic, and plumbing fields. Possessing a strong managerial and sales background, he also has experience supporting contractors in the field.

Iannuzzi will head up the polypropylene-random (PPR) business for Yates, while also serving as the PVF sales director in the Northeast region, including Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey. He will also work closely with contractors in that region as well as work toward establishing a Yates prefabrication facility in Hunt Valley.

Yates president Jon Thomas, CPMR, said the company is extremely pleased to add someone with Giovanni’s experience, skills, and industry expertise.

“Gio and I have known each other since 2016 when he moved into our market as a regional manager, and we are thrilled to have him on our team,” he said. “His experience, background, and industry connections, bring a lot of value to our company that will benefit our customers throughout the market,” Thomas added.

When he’s not educating the market on the latest PVF, hydronic, and plumbing innovations and delivering inventive solutions, Iannuzzi enjoys spending time with his family, being outdoors, and watching his son play high-level ice hockey.
