Words: Al MorrisMark Donze has joined PROSOCO as sales manager for the company’s Central Great Lakes sales region. He replaces Mike Trotta, who was promoted to contractor training specialist.

PROSOCO, Lawrence, Kansas, is a national manufacturer of products for cleaning, protecting and maintaining concrete, brick and stone architecture.

The company’s Central Great Lakes sales region includes Michigan, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and the Southern tip of Indiana.

He will also work with area contractors, architects, building-owners and the company’s many manufacturer’s representatives throughout his sales territory.
