Barentz CASE Expands Sales

Barentz, a leading global distributor of life science ingredients and specialty chemical solutions, is excited to welcome Karna Bertucci as Account Manager, covering customers in our Southwest region.

With more than 25 years working in the chemicals field, Karna is a results-oriented sales professional with broad experience in the coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE) industry, including many years with Azelis Americas and Buckman Laboratories. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry with a minor in Biology at Cameron University and has won various outstanding sales performance awards, such as the prestigious Acorn Award.

"It's incredibly exciting for Barentz to announce the addition of a distribution sales professional like Karna, who possesses tremendous knowledge, energy, experience, and relationships," Bill Nicholas, Vice President, Sales (CASE), said. "I knew of her from the great things I'd heard from customers we've shared, so naturally we jumped at the opportunity to bring her on board when she became available, and we couldn't be happier that we did. At Barentz we ask ourselves every day, how can we create a 'better solution' to the experience of working with a distributor. People like Karna are a foundation part of the answer; people who know distribution, know their products, care passionately about their customers, and are motivated to deliver an epic customer experience."
