SHOWA Group has announced the appointment of a new chief commerce officer. 

SHOWA Group is a global supplier of gloves and still maintains administrative offices and a shipping facility in Menlo.

William “Billy” Emerson Harris has been appointed Chief Commerce Officer with SHOWA Group. This position, which is new for the company, will serve to bolster the recent onshore manufacturing investment SHOWA is making in Fayette, AL.

The former CEO of Sri Trang USA, Inc. will use his 30 years of experience in onshore and offshore manufacturing to solidify the impact of the SHOWA, Fayette, Alabama facility. Which, once fully expanded, will produce an output of 3.0 billion gloves per year.
