As we continue to share the rock stars of The Knotts Company, we thought to profile Joe Maresca who is the man who makes those fast shipments of replacement parts possible for all our customers. He may be "behind the scenes" to our clients, but for us around the office he is ever present and our "go to person" for so many things. We are incredibly grateful he has spent his career with Knotts.
