Michelle Gross

Julie Graverson, Chief Operations Officer, and Michelle Gross, Vice President of Marketing, for Sellars Absorbent Materials have each been recognized with an award by BizTimes magazine.

Graverson, who has more than 40 years of experience, was named a “Notable Woman in Manufacturing,” based on her leadership roles in the paper industry and her support and mentorship of women throughout her career.

“Due to her breadth of experience, Graverson understands almost every aspect of the ‘away from home’ tissue market, which includes public restroom toilet paper, paper towels, restaurant napkins, shop towels and more,” according to a press release.

Gross, who has nearly 30 years of experience, was named a “Notable Marketing Executive,” based on her strategic thinking and marketing experience that’s driving the Sellars brand forward.

“Throughout her career, Gross has launched products, crafted brand and digital strategy and built channel marketing organizations that have led to significant top- and bottom-line company growth,” the release added.

Founded in 1985 in Milwaukee, WI, Sellars utilizes proprietary technology to produce high-performance wipes, shop towels and absorbents primarily from recycled fibers. In addition, as part of its manufacturing process, the company recycles its own production waste to create some of its absorbents.
