It looks as though I am talking to myself again, Oh well here is some more good news. Looks like they are bringing in a big gun for marketing!
SALT LAKE CITY--Jan. 15, 1997--Alpha Pro Tech Ltd. (OTC: APTD) announced
today that Michael Scheerer, formerly with VWR Scientific Products, has
joined Alpha Pro Tech Inc. as senior vice president sales and marketing.
Al Millar, president of Alpha Pro Tech, commented, "Alpha Pro Tech is
fortunate to have attracted the management talents of Michael Scheerer.
His addition to the management team will provide Alpha Pro Tech with the
sales and marketing leadership the organization needs now that we have
strengthened and expanded our manufacturing capabilities."
"Michael brings to our organization the vision, leadership and management
expertise we need to move to the next level of growth for our business,"
said Shelly Hoffman, chief executive officer of Alpha Pro Tech. "I have
personally worked with Mike for the last four years and I have been
consistently impressed with his ability to deliver significant increases
in shareholder value."
"I couldn't turn down the opportunity to join the Alpha Pro Tech team," said
Scheerer. "Alpha Pro Tech is positioned with innovative and comprehensive
manufacturing capabilities with access to several important markets. I am

Products (Nasdaq/NMS: VWRX) as Vice President Critical Environment

the CES business to a position of market share leadership by moving the

and customer loyalty.

of Sales Development and Administration, and Region Manager. Prior to
joining Baxter, Scheerer held various positions with American Hospital
