Teutopolis, IL – Stevens Industries, Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of Karine Turmel to the StevensWood sales team. She will serve as the Western Regional Sales Manager and is based in Arizona. Turmel’s extensive background in product specification, design and construction made her an ideal choice for the decorative panel division of the company.
Previous experience in the design world meant Turmel came on board already familiar with StevensWood. Leading roles at Artopex and Prémoulé in Québec, as well as with Peterman Lumber in Arizona, afforded her the opportunity to work with the products she now represents. Turmel explained, “I first learned of StevensWood products back in 2012 while helping my customer Robert Bury & Company grow the Stevens line they had just begun distributing. Over the years I frequently had the chance to work with this beautiful product. When I moved back to Arizona, I wanted to work with Stevens because I loved the products and knew it was a great company. I’m very happy with my choice!”
Turmel has degrees in Interior Design and AutoCAD, which help her to understand customer needs from both the design and manufacturing perspectives.

Her understanding of our design collections and customer-centered approach to business are tremendous assets as we continue growing in the Southwest markets.
