ABRA Auto Body and Glass has hired Jim Richardson to serve as vice president of ABRA Glass.
Richardson most recently was employed with PPG Industries, where he held a variety of positions, including director of sales, director of alliance programs and business development, and most recently, segment manager in PPG’s architectural coatings division. In that role, he was responsible for strategic planning, revenue contribution, and resource utilization management.
Prior to his work with PPG, Richardson also spent nine years with Harmon Glass.
“ABRA is a growing company and a well-respected leader in the damaged vehicle repair and auto glass industry,” says Richardson. “I look forward to being an integral part of the management team as the company continues to expand its business and develop better ways to automate [its] processes through operational excellence.”
“Jim will fill a key strategic position for ABRA,” adds Scott Krohn, ABRA’s executive vice president of operations. “His depth of knowledge in the auto glass industry and experience as a Six Sigma Black Belt will be a positive contribution to our strategic growth plans and lean initiatives.”
