Marine hardware provider Perko appointed Michael DeLillo vice president of sales and marketing.

DeLillo replaces George Bellwoar, who is retiring later this year, the Miami-based manufacturer said in a statement yesterday.

DeLillo is a marketing, brand and product executive with a background in engineering, manufacturing and diesel products. He will oversee sales, marketing and the execution of the company’s growth strategy domestically and abroad.

“We are pleased to have Michael on board,” said Fred Perkins, president of Perko. “His background and industry experience will be a natural fit for promoting both our legacy and new products.”
