Ebonite International recently added Scott Hayes as the company's district sales manager in Indiana, Kentucky, western Ohio and Michigan, announced national field sales manager, Scott McMillan. Jeff Lizzi, who has served in that role for two years, is leaving the company to join his brother, John, in managing the family's bowling center in Ohio.

"We're sorry to lose Jeff, but we understand and respect his decision to turn his attention to his family's bowling center," said McMillan. "Jeff will always remain a member of the Ebonite family and we're appreciative of his accomplishments while working as a DSM."

"Gratefully, our search for a new DSM was short-lived. We've known Scott for years through both competitive bowling and as a pro shop manager. He's a great fit for the company and will be an excellent representative of Ebonite International's brands out in the field. Please join us in welcoming Scott to the Ebonite International sales team."
