WETCO Appoints Two to Key Positions

(December 21, 2011 - Sandy, Utah)

WETCO, Inc. president and chief operating officer, Jon Last, today announced two appointments to the company's management team: Former WETCO owner Adam Wells has been appointed vice president for operations, and Gary Collins has assumed the position of WETCO regional sales manager. Last said that the Sandy, Utah-based company provides systems and services for the automation and process control and the chemical feed industries as well as providing automated solutions and integrated controls for municipal water companies and municipalities.

"Adam has a keen understanding of the marketplace and the technology that drives this industry and will continue to be a key player in WETCO'S success," Last said. "Adam helped grow this business into what it is today, and we expect him to continue in that role."

Last also noted that "Gary is a great addition to our team and brings with him more than more than 15 years of experience in industrial controls, PLC's, SCADA Systems, valves and actuators. He has provided exemplary service to his customers in the water and waste water services, refineries, food services, pipeline and mining companies. His passion for excellence in customer service will help Wetco to achieve its goal of exceeding the expectations of our customers."

Last said that he bought WETCO because "it had the potential and all the right pieces in place to become the most valued and respected systems integrator and process controls solutions-provider in the Intermountain region. We want this to be a customer-driven organization, and that is a key reason we have retained both Adam and Gary," Last said. Jon Last acquired WETCO in October 2010 after a long career in developing and leading international businesses in the medical and manufacturing industries.

Last said he hopes this reorganization will help develop closer relationships with WETCO's existing customers and with engineering firms, general contractors and electrical contractors who serve the needs of public and private entities in the Intermountain West who depend on clean water and reliable process controls systems in their daily operations.
