Ziebart International Corporation has promoted Thomas Bowler to director of U.S. retail operations. In his new role, Bowler will oversee Ziebart’s 11 corporate-owned stores, handling all of their day-to-day operations, while leading the charge on decisions for the stores, and working with store managers to help continue to move sales in a positive direction.

Bowler first started at Ziebart in 2016 as a product sales and technical support specialist. He most recently served as a regional sales manager for the last three and a half years, working closely with Ziebart’s franchise owners. After spending years gaining extensive knowledge of Ziebart’s sales process, service offerings and products, while coaching franchise owners on day-to-day operations and providing regular support, Bowler said he looks forward to extending his skillset to include the corporate side of the Ziebart umbrella.

“Throughout his various roles at Ziebart, Thomas has shown a determination to learn the ins and outs of all our services,” said Thomas A. Wolfe, CEO and president of Ziebart International Corporation. “As Thomas is always one to lead by example, his dedication to the brand, passion for cars, and team effort mentality makes him the perfect fit on our corporate team to continue guiding our stores down a promising road.”
