Midway Industrial Supply names Hoolihan president
Midway Industrial Supply announced that Patrick Hoolihan has joined the company as president and CEO.
Hoolihan succeeds Gregg Lien, the former owner and prior president and CEO of MIS. Lien will continue to be involved in MIS and will focus on strategic growth projects, and providing counsel to Hoolihan and the board of directors. The rest of the existing management team will continue operating the business.
“I believe Patrick will serve Midway well. He comes with a great background and skill-set needed to further grow the business,” said Lien. "Midway saw record growth in 2013, followed by a record 1st quarter in 2014."
“Midway has a very strong presence in its markets and Lien and the management team did a great job of building a first-class company. I look forward to working with our team to build on Midway’s success,” said Hoolihan.
Prior to joining MIS, Hoolihan was president of ASTRA Global LLC, a global sales and marketing consulting and direct sales representation firm.
