BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (April 9, 2015) – Mazzei Injector Company, LLC, a manufacturer of innovative injection systems and fluid processing solutions, announces the addition of Jim Lauria as vice president of sales and marketing. Geoffrey Whynot, president of Mazzei, stated that with Lauria’s knowledge in the field of water technology and proven track record of new business development, Mazzei is bracing for substantial growth.
Lauria has been a leader in water and wastewater for more than 15 years and has had articles published in prominent water industry publications worldwide. Mazzei is fortunate to have found someone with an extraordinary command of the technical, sales and marketing, and financial aspects of the business, and his enthusiasm and energy are unmatched. Lauria holds a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree from Manhattan College.
“Mazzei’s emphasis on R&D and in-house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling is what convinced me that this company was the perfect fit,” Lauria says. “Mazzei is solving complex water and wastewater issues, and my goal is to have Mazzei’s fluid technology utilized by water and wastewater experts throughout the world. Mazzei is known for its inventiveness, high-quality products and exemplary customer service – I am looking forward to being a part of their team.”
Lauria will be replacing Paul Overbeck who is retiring. When Overbeck rejoined Mazzei in 2012, he brought years of water and wastewater process technologies experience which included his leadership of the International Ozone Association and his direct involvement in the development of Mazzei’s GDT Process. Overbeck has contributed greatly to Mazzei, and his experience, knowledge and dedication have been important components in helping Mazzei achieve success. To assure a smooth transition, Overbeck will remain with Mazzei until June 2015 and then transition to a consulting role.
Mazzei manufactures a broad line of patented high-efficiency Venturi injectors, specialized nozzles, degassing separators, flash mixers and GDT ozone system combinations for use in various water-related applications.
