NEW YORK —

Industry veteran Jerry Pittman joined Regency Home Fashions on March 15 as vice president of sales to help the company launch a new window division.

A three-pronged approach will be utilized for this division by making use of finished products, imported pieced goods and some production through its North Carolina facility.

Prior to Regency, Pittman was vice president of sales and marketing in the window division for Louis Hornick for a year. Before that, he was at Arley as vice president of sales and marketing for three years and WestPoint Stevens for three years as vice president of sales and marketing for window. Previously, he worked at CHF Industries for about 20 years.

"I think this will be a great and exciting challenge," said Pittman. "I really look forward to helping Regency break into the window business."

Regency executives said they are excited to have someone with Pittman's level of expertise onboard.
