Milwaukee-based United P & H, a fourth-generation, family-owned distributor of industrial, technical and plumbing products, appointed Richard Chojnacki to president and general manager. Chojnacki, previously vice president of operations and assistant general manager, now oversees administrative, information technology, inventory management, purchasing and warehouse operations.
