Mattress producer Southerland has named Greg Wanninger as regional vice president of sales, rejoining the company to oversee the Southeastern United States.
With over 25 years in the bedding industry, Wanninger served as a sales representative for Southerland from 2003 to 2009. He also performed the same role for mattress producers Park Place and Corsicana Bedding, bed frame and adjustable bed suppliers Glideaway and W. Silver Products, and bedding accessories supplier Protect-A-Bed. He has also worked in mattress retailing as a sales associate and retail sales owner.
In his new post, Wanninger will report to Bryan Smith, president and chief executive officer of Southerland
“Greg’s outstanding track record in the mattress industry and his previous success at Southerland make him the ideal candidate to fill this post,” said Smith. “He will have an immediate, positive impact on our business, and we’re happy to have him back.”
“I am excited to return to Southerland,” Wanninger said. “The company’s recent focus on higher-end mattresses and adjustable beds provides a compelling story that I can’t wait to share with our existing and future retail partners.”
