Thermwood Promotes Jacob Zellers to Account Manager 

Jacob Zellers has been promoted to Account Manager within our Machining Products Division. For the last three years, Jacob did a fantastic job serving as our Trade Show Coordinator.

In his new role, he will oversee sales and dealer relationships across half the United States. Jacob brings a practical understanding of our products to this position, having started his career with us in the Electrical Department.

Outside of work, Jacob resides in Tell City with his wife Brooke and their two daughters. 

Thermwood Promotes Chase Frye to Trade Show Coordinator 

With Jacob moving into sales, Chase Frye is stepping up to fill his shoes as our new Trade Show Coordinator in the Marketing Department. Chase will take over the execution and logistics for all of our trade show events and exhibitions.

Like Jacob, Chase brings a valuable hands-on perspective to his new role, having started his Thermwood career in the Paint Department. We also want to recognize Chase for his dedication to the community, where he serves as a volunteer firefighter for Anderson Township and a reserve police officer in Cannelton. 

It is always a proud moment for us to promote from within, especially when it involves two individuals who work so hard for our company and our customers. Please join us in congratulating Jacob and Chase on their new roles!
