Mullally as Director of Sales MILWAUKEE – GRAFF®, a leading manufacturer of high-end faucets and shower products for the kitchen and bath industry, announced today that they’ve hired T.J. Mullally to act as their new Director of Sales.

Prior to JACLO, T.J. was a principal at Heritage Marketing, a manufacturer’s representative firm in the plumbing industry; serving showrooms and dealers in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas. He feels this background makes him especially valuable to GRAFF as they continue to brand themselves as leaders in the plumbing industry. "Joining GRAFF as their Director of Sales is such a great opportunity for me," said Mullally. "I will be able to leverage my previous experience in the best possible way – by helping to grow a company whose people and products I admire. I couldn’t be more thrilled and I am looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with GRAFF."
