McDonough, Georgia-based Simmons Manufacturing announced long-time sales and marketing veteran Mo Rainey will step down April 4 after 25 years with the well supplies company.
The company says Rainey is known for his enthusiastic and tireless work for Simmons. His leadership over the years earned Rainey the respect of the water well industry as a whole.
“Mo is a friend to so many at Simmons, to our customers, to other vendors in the industry, and to me personally,” Simmons President West Soward said. “We will miss him and wish him nothing but the best in the future.”
Rainey will continue to work with Simmons for several more months to ensure a smooth transition. He will visit customers, attend customer events, and work to transfer his years of knowledge and experience.
“It has been a great ride, and for the most part, a sweet ride,” Rainey said. He adds that all three of the Engeman generations he worked with at Simmons treated him with great respect and that “it has been an honor to work with such a fine family organization.”
Joe Jankowski, regional sales manager, takes over the service of Rainey’s territories beginning April 4.
Rainey served on the NGWA Board of Directors and Manufacturers Section Board of Directors as well as various committees for the Association over the course of his career. He received the NGWA Manufacturers Special Recognition Award in 2017.
Simmons Manufacturing has offered water well supplies since 1957. The company manufactures foot valves, check valves, frost-proof hydrants, well seals, pitless adapters, and other related products across the United States.
