Rorex joins the Stellar team with more than 20 years of transportation/refuse industry experience.

 “Stellar has always stood out as a standard bearer of quality, dependability and customer service,” said Rorex. “Throughout my many years in the industry, I had always thought of Stellar as a destination company that I wished I would eventually be a part of — I am honored that I am now a part of the team and I look forward to the success we will enjoy together.”

Rea joins the Stellar team from Shurco/Donovan. There, as the director of Sales Waste segment, Rea was responsible for top line sales growth, managing bottom line costs, dealer and sales team training, input into product design, marketing plans, and day to day sales functions.

“I really enjoy finding new customers or dealers and then growing and nurturing those relationships,” said Rea. “I truly believe Stellar has the best product in the industry.”
