processing.
Scot Wahl has been named a product marketing specialist. His responsibilities

an inside sales role for more than a decade.

Neal Zuzik has joined American Refining Group

marketing and business development. Zuzik comes
to ARG from Valvoline, where he most recently
served as its vice president of global supply chain,
leading its global purchasing, indirect procurement,
logistics and customer service teams. He joined
Ashland in early 2001 as a transportation analyst
with Valvoline. Since then he has held various
positions of increasing responsibility, from OEM
account manager to sales manager, area manager,
project manager, business development manager,
global purchasing manager and director of global
procurement.
Zuzik received a Bachelor of Science degree in
biology/pre-medicine from St. Vincent College
in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and went on to earn a
Master of Business Administration degree in supply

"We are committed to hiring and developing talented staff and promoting

change in responsibilities is a great example of how we encourage members of
our team to grow and advance within our company."
In other news from Sea-Land, the company announced it has been certified
as meeting the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 Standard. Following the
certification process of Akron, Ohio-based Smithers Quality Assessments,
Sea-Land Chemical Co. and its subsidiaries achieved this milestone in late
June 2016. Smithers is an ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB)
accredited register. The ISO 9001:2015 standard is the latest standard,
published just last year, and is both less prescriptive and more comprehensive
than earlier versions of the ISO 9000 series.
