    Samuel Appoints New President of Manufacturing

    Written by David Schollaert

    Canadian metals distributor and industrial products manufacturer Samuel, Son & Co., Ltd., appointed Brian Cooke as incoming president of its Manufacturing Division.

    In the planned transition, Cooke succeeds Rod Crawford, who previously announced his plan to retire in June 2022. The two will work closely together, the company said, to ensure a successful transition until Crawford’s retirement.
