Eric McGloshen
Vice President
I am proud to be the newest member of the Interwood / Fritz Kohl family. This industry has been very good to me and the passion I have for it continues to grow day by day.
I began my career in the hardwood veneer industry over 21 years ago producing architectural paneling. Later I moved to laser cutting sketch faces supplying a wide variety of tables, desks, paneling, and even musical instruments. Eventually, I transitioned into the private aircraft interior industry, which led me to Interwood.
Each of these experiences give me a unique perspective of our industry and I look forward to this incredible opportunity to incorporate them in my approach to being a leader here at Interwood.
Outside of my professional life, my wife and I are enjoying our 3 year old daughter and the 3 of us are anxiously awaiting the birth of our second daughter in April of 2022.
Rob Romines
Sales & Marketing Manager
I began selling domestic veneer in flitch stock form for residential and office furniture applications spending my first six years in the industry at Pierson- Hollowell in Lawrenceburg, Indiana starting in 1987. I continued selling for Dieter K.H. Johnson Veneer until the end of the ’90s. I then spent 19 years selling exotic and domestic species of clipped and bundled veneer, including spliced faces, along with hardwood lumber for M. Bohlke Veneer Corp. I also began working with the architectural community during this time getting veneer specified for the various projects including corporate headquarters, yachts, and private jets. I recently had the opportunity to join Interwood Forest Products! Please contact me for assistance finding the ideal veneer and lumber to meet your design specifications for your project. My 30 plus years of experience can be utilized to help you find and specify the right veneer and lumber that meets the physical specifications of your project, while simultaneously ensuring we meet your aesthetic vision. rromines@ifpveneer.com
