Pola Associates Forms

Local textile executive Hank Pola has formed Pola Associates, a multi-line mill representation group currently carrying Symphony Textiles and G. Ferranti Textiles.

Pola was previously a partner in Los Angeles-based Pola-Torres, which has been dissolved.

He will be joined by Mitchell Ross, a longtime Symphony rep who has been named sales executive for the new company, and Sonya Johnson, who joins as director of customer service.

The group plans to pursue such textile-marketing concepts as private-label sourcing and package development.
