COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In September of 2019, Wesley Eaton joined Astro Pak to head up the operations for the California Cleanroom as its General Manager, in Downey. An aerospace engineer by training, Mr. Eaton has spent most of the past decade in Southern California’s aerospace industry.

Eventually becoming Director of Supply Chain and Materials for Zodiac, he managed and oversaw various aspects of the site’s supply chain, warehousing and worked with key stake holders to keep things running smoothly.

After Zodiac, Mr. Eaton assumed the role of Vice President of Operations for BMS | Data 911 in the San Diego area where, along with managing a diverse portfolio that included operations, supply chain, and customer service, he was also tasked with overseeing quality and engineering while also helping develop the company’s vision and core values.
