Jones Family of Companies has appointed Andrew Dailey, former vice president of sales and marketing of the Yarn division, as Jones Nonwovens’ vice president of sales. At the same time, Jeremy Raines, who has been with Jones for more than 26 years in various roles, began his transition into his new role as vice president for the Jones Yarn division.

“We are excited to have Andrew coming to join the Jones Nonwovens sales team,” says Kenny Oliver, president of Jones Nonwovens. “Andrew brings a new set of ideas to the Nonwovens side, and we are confident the transition will bring about some great new insights to take to not only our core market but also some of the exciting new adjacent markets we’re currently exploring.”

Dailey joined Jones Companies in 1991 as vice president of sales and marketing as the first non-Jones family member to represent the organization. With Dailey’s direction, the company expanded its product offerings, advancing into the apparel, home furnishings and upholstery markets. In response to the declining textile markets following NAFTA, Jones re-focused on its primary products for the floor care market.

Dailey helped bring new products into the mix to broaden Jones’ reach, introducing the Next Generation and nWET product lines. In concert with Jones’ development of a Strategic Leadership Team in 2014 and the corporate rebranding to the Jones Family of Companies, Dailey will transfer his 25 years of Jones sales and customer relationship development skills to the Jones Nonwovens products as vice president of sales. In addition to working with the Nonwoven sales team and national accounts in the core nonwoven markets, he will be involved with new product and new market development.
