MSC Industrial Supply Co. (NYSE: MSM), a distributor of metalworking maintenance, repair and operations products based in Melville, New York, said Wednesday that Senior Vice President of Sales & Customer Success Edwin Martin has departed the company.

Kim Shacklett will assume the role of interim VP in Martin’s absence.

I am excited that Kim will take the reins to head our sales efforts. She is the right person to build upon the growing momentum and market share capture we see in the business as we execute our Mission Critical transformation.”
