Stefano brings a deep knowledge of the polymer and plastics industry to SD Polymers. The son of modified bitumen roofing pioneer and company founder Marco Danese, he has witnessed the evolution of the plastics industry first-hand. He has also served as Plant Manager for General Industrial Polymers in Baytown, Texas, before joining the family company and renaming it in 2008.
Stefano believes our No. 1 mission is to use our expertise and legacy of innovation first to solve customers’ problems and second to sell product. Before a sale can occur, he insists that the solution be good for the customer’s bottom line and the environment.
Thanks to our flat organizational structure, our sales representatives can execute this philosophy through a direct line to him. This means things get done at SD Polymers. Whether a customer needs a sample, a lab test or any other kind of help, it just gets done.
Though the company was built on a heritage of thinking big, its small size allows Stefano to be hands on in the business. To serve customers better, he works constantly to improve our internal processes and engages daily with the R&D team to make sure we’re offering the best products and services to our customers.
Stefano holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Management from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
