He also led the development of the company's Radnor private label program.
In 2000 Molinini became senior vice president, Hardgoods, with company-wide responsibility for directing sales and marketing, brand management, and procurement, as well as managing distribution center logistics, and supplier relationships for these welding and safety products.
Previously, Molinini served as vice president marketing at National Welders Supply Co., a Charlotte, N.C.-based Airgas joint venture, where he managed all gases and hardgoods sales and marketing programs and all welding and MRO supplier relationships. Other responsibilities included designing and implementing the company's computer systems and managing the rental equipment division.
