BRUNSWICK, MAINE, January 28, 2010 – Downeast Energy & Building Supply is pleased to announce that a Maine native has relocated from California for a newly created position. Sharon Zylla recently moved from California back to her home town of Lisbon to become the Manager of Inventory Planning and Supply for Downeast.

“We are very pleased to have someone as experienced as Sharon to be leading the way in this new position,” said Steve McGrath, Chief Financial Officer for Downeast. “We wanted more focus on our cost accounting and she brings knowledge from her work with national companies such as Gillette that will help us become more efficient.”
