Sioux Chief’s auditorium and training center in our Kansas City headquarters has been dedicated the ‘Stallings Innovation Center’ in honor of the late Mike Stallings. Mike’s career spanned nearly 40 years in the plumbing industry. He joined Sioux Chief in 2001 and managed the Southeast Distribution Center. Shortly after, he became the Regional Sales Manager for the Southeast. Mike advanced into the role of Director of National Sales for Sioux Chief in 2013 and carried out that position with great success until his passing. Mike understood rough-in plumbing and innovation was in his DNA. He played an important role in the development of many of our most successful products. The Stallings Innovation Center will be a place for employees, representatives, and customers to learn and exchange ideas. The facility provides real plumbing scenarios with hands-on experience. The beginning of many innovative products will start with conversations in the center.
The dedication was celebrated with Mike’s wife, Donna Stallings, and several representatives and customers from the southeast region – many of whom shared stories or favorite memories of Mike. We were grateful to all who could share this special time with us.
