CLEVELAND, Ohio — Transtar Industries has appointed Neil Sethi to president of Transtar’s Domestic Distribution Group. Sethi joined Transtar in October 2004 as director of business development and shortly thereafter, assumed responsibility for the Cleveland sales team in addition to his business development role.

“In 2007, Neil was promoted to vice president of corporate development and was instrumental in leading the successful integration of Transtar and Axiom,” said Greg Gyllstrom, president and CEO of Transtar Holding Co. “Following the integration, Neil was promoted to group vice president for the Domestic Distribution Group. Under Neil’s guidance, the Domestic Distribution leadership team has successfully navigated through a major economic recession while launching numerous new branches and new product lines to better serve our customers.”

“We have gone through tremendous growth over the past several years, yet have maintained a sense of personal connection with our customers,” said Sethi. “I would like to thank our valued customers and the entire Transtar team, who have been the real reason for our success.”

Prior to joining Transtar, Sethi served as a consultant with the Healthcare Consulting Practice of Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP. He holds a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, an MBA from Georgetown University and a doctorate of medicine from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
