TULSA, OK (January 17, 2024) – BlackHawk Industrial, a market-leading distributor of metalworking and other mission-critical industrial products, announced today the promotion of Trent Moss to the newly created position of Vice President of Sales – East.

Trent Moss has played a pivotal role in leading BlackHawk’s largest region, the Mid-States, and brings over 20 years of successful sales and management experience to his new position.
