Callico welcomes its new president
Marking the third generation of family leadership for ISSA-member Callico Distributors, Cole Callahan, MBA, PMP, has now become president of the company. Mark Callahan continue to serve as CEO.
Cole has worked in most departments and has demonstrated strong leadership in all aspects of the business. He has a penchant for harnessing technology to improve processes and systems. His vision comes from a deep understanding of Callico’s values, history and commitment to excellence. He recently completed an ambitious project which modernised Callico's warehouse and doubled its capacity.
“He embodies humility even as he leads decisively and with purpose,” say his colleagues. “His straightforward, pragmatic approach and genuine caring nature has earned him respect from customers, employees, and partners. Cole will continue to strengthen these relationships and steer Callico toward a great future.”
Callico distributes janitorial supply and foodservice disposables in New England and the capital NY region of the US. As well as its ISSA involvement, it is an active member of ARDA Advantage, a national Association of pure redistributors, selling exclusively to distributors and never to end-users.
