Chytil’s experience includes roles such as Account Manager - CASE for Brenntag and founder/owner of AlChemie Coatings.  Based in Dallas, Chytil will serve the Southwest U.S. market.
 
Based in South Florida, Jose Murillo joins Palmer Holland as an Account Manager in our southeast region. Murillo’s previous experience includes sales roles for several years with companies such as Omya Inc., Nexeo Solutions and Honeywell.
