Jerry
Vitillo - President
jerry@diversifiedfixture.com
Jerry started in the independent retail building supply business. At the time, he never realized
much of what he learned would translate into the very business
philosophy that would lead to the success of DIVERSIFIED
FIXTURE. In
the years that followed, and with the advent of the "mega-home
center" type stores, Jerry wisely decided to take the company in
a different direction. With his knowledge of the industry, he chose
the custom home, commercial, and retail remodeling field and began to include custom casework
in many of his projects. He realized he had found the company's true
calling, and DIVERSIFIED FIXTURE was
born.
Like any
successful business, the development of a clear perspective regarding
potential competitors was DIVERSIFIED FIXTURE's
number one priority. Jerry recognized early on that being competitive
in all aspects of the millwork industry meant obtaining the right
machinery, as well as the right people. His fascination with the power
of the computer, combined with the capabilities of automated machines,
prompted him to start acquiring the necessary equipment. He also began
to assemble a management team consisting of individuals who were eager
to bring various specialized skills to the company. These skills
encompassed design, marketing, product development, and manufacturing.
In 2000,
Jerry spear headed the construction of DIVERSIFIED FIXTURE's
brand new facility located in a well-known industrial park. He has provided his staff with a facility that includes
every piece of "state-of-the-art" equipment and the most
modern resources available. This, combined with Jerry's solid business
management skills, will ensure continued growth and success in DIVERSIFIED
FIXTURE'S future.
Jerry's extensive background in raw materials uses and fabrication, as
well as his product development capabilities allow us to bring greater
diversity to the markets we serve.

A team member
since 2005, Alan earned a
B.S. from the Philadelphia College of Art, 1981 (now University of the
Arts), educated in Industrial Design. He joined the DIVERSIFIED
FIXTURE team in the fall of 2005. Alan began his career in
product design & development, working first for Rodale Press
(publisher of alternate energy and health food subjects among others).
He then moved into packaging design and eventually landed in the
display industry, first in design and ultimately in sales (trade show
exhibits, point-of-purchase displays, store fixtures and commercial
casework). Early on, Alan realized the valuable resource to customers
in knowing and consulting on product design, construction, store
planning, materials and processes combined with the sales and
marketing of products/services. With almost 20 years of experience,
Alan has become a trusted and valuable asset to his customer/client
base.
Alan's sales
and business philosophy is to serve all customers equally with
knowledge, resources and direction for all of their design, logistics
and/or financing needs and requirements.

Castoral - Operations Manager
jc@diversifiedfixture.com
A team member since 1988, Jerry's enforcement of the quality control standards
shared by both him and Jerry Vitillo, contributed to the development
of the protocols DIVERSIFIED FIXTURE continues to maintain today. When the company entered into the
automated world of machining, Jerry was the individual destined to
assume the early responsibilities of that aspect of the company's
progression, and he received his certification in CAD-CAM programming
for Stiles and Holzma machinery. He is responsible for writing the machining programs for
every piece undergoing the production process. Jerry is also
responsible for maintaining a vast machining files library, and his
presence here continues to be an integral part of DIVERSIFIED
FIXTURE's success.
