Allan H. Palecek, owner and CEO of Richmond, Calif.-based Palecek, manufacturer of natural handcrafted furniture and accessories, has appointed George Van Ess to the position of president.
Van Ess has been with Palecek for more than 17 years, first as vice president of sales and marketing. In 2005, he became vice president and general manager of the company’s then-new Contract Furnishings Division where he successfully united Palecek’s designs with the construction and durability necessary for contract environments.
Palecek is confident Van Ess will excel in his new role as president. “George has thirty years of experience in the home furnishings industry, making him an invaluable asset to Palecek,” he said. “In the many years he has been with us, George has made incredible contributions to the company. In his new role as president, we’re certain he’ll continue to do the same for the operation of the company as a whole.” Palecek will remain with the company as CEO.
“This is an exciting and challenging time in the industry,” Van Ess said. “With Allan’s creative vision and us working together as an executive team, Palecek is sure to see some powerful momentum into 2009.”
Palecek has permanent showrooms in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, and a market-only showroom in High Point.
