Militello will succeed Neil Ringel, who is retiring after more than seven years leading the company. Ringel will remain actively involved as an adviser and member of the Board of Directors.

Militello joins PCNA from a career in consumer products and branded goods. Most recently, he served as president of Dometic Mobile Cooling, where he led the Dometic, Igloo, and Cool Gear brands. His prior experience includes roles as senior vice president of Igloo Products and senior leadership positions with Masco Cabinetry, Bang & Olufsen America, HoMedics, Coleman, and Lava World International.

“What drew me to PCNA was the quality of the business Neil and the team have built – the brands, the relationships, and the people,” Militello says. “I've spent my career in businesses where staying close to the customer is what drives growth, and that's exactly how I intend to approach this role. I'm looking forward to getting to work with this team and continuing to build something our customers and partners can count on.”

Ringel commented on the transition, saying:

“Leading PCNA has been the privilege of my professional career. I am incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished together and grateful for the dedication, resilience, and passion of our employees. We have built a strong foundation, assembled an exceptional leadership team, and created significant momentum across the business. Josh is an exceptional leader, and I could not be more confident in his ability to lead this Company forward.”

Jesse Ge, managing director at Charlesbank Capital Partners, an investor in PCNA, commented on the change: “Neil and the team have built a great business at PCNA – an industry leader with marquee brands, loyal distributor relationships, and a commitment to operational excellence. We are deeply appreciative of Neil's leadership over the years and look forward to continuing to partner with him on the board,” Ge says. “We are also excited to welcome Josh, a customer-centric leader with a track record of growth. We look forward to supporting Josh and the PCNA team as they continue to grow and innovate in their industry.”
