NEWBURY, Ohio, December 3, 2008—Kinetico Incorporated, a leading water treatment systems manufacturer, announces today that Ted Jones has been named director of U.S. dealer sales.

After 18 years of valued service, Jones left Kinetico in 2005 to pursue an opportunity with Liberty Reverse Mortgage (Genworth Financial) where he served as their vice president of sales.

The knowledge and experience he gained in his most recent position combined with his solid background and enthusiasm make Ted the optimal choice for this position," said Gary Martin, Kinetico vice president of sales. "He is a natural leader with proven results. And our dealers are very excited to be working with him again," Martin adds.
