"It was a wonderful opportunity," said Gary Rosenthal, describing the Duralee post he accepted recently. Rosenthal steps in as managing director of sales and will take over Techstyle, the contract arm of Duralee.

He said he will work to establish the Techstyle division in the hospitality, corporate and healthcare markets.

Previously, Rosenthal worked for 11 years at Covington and was most recently vice president of sales for its contract division.
