Showalter succeeds Mark Heird, who retired as of Aug. 3, after 26 years with the company.
“DAP has built something truly special over generations: a company with deep roots, talented people, and a culture that continues to drive us forward,” Showalter said. “Our opportunity is to build on that foundation by continuing to innovate, strengthening our partnerships, and delivering solutions that help both professionals and do-it-yourselfers complete the projects that matter most.”
He says DAP operates with the curiosity, urgency, and entrepreneurial spirit of a startup.
“We’re always looking for ways to improve and better serve our customers,” Showalter said.
With more than 20 years of experience with DAP, he has held leadership roles spanning sales and marketing. He joined DAP in 2004 as a field sales representative and advanced through various roles with increasing responsibilities including national account manager, director of sales, vice president of sales and executive vice president of sales and marketing.
“Scott’s appointment reflects the strength of DAP’s leadership pipeline and the culture of growth and innovation that exists throughout RPM,” said Frank Sullivan, RPM chairman and CEO. “His deep knowledge of the business and commitment to customers translate into real results, and I’m confident that his leadership will serve DAP well as it enters its next chapter.”
Showalter’s vision for DAP’s future builds on the company’s strong foundation while continuing to evolve how DAP serves and connects with customers.
Under his leadership, DAP will continue advancing its portfolio of solutions across caulks and sealants, adhesives, spray foam and insulation, and patch and repair products.
“DAP’s greatest strength has always been our people,” added Showalter. “The products matter. The innovation matters. The customers matter. But it is the people behind this company who have carried this legacy forward for generations. Our responsibility is to honor that history while building what comes next.”
