For AJ Kodros, the best part of his job is the satisfaction he gets from helping a customer with a troubling application. As Branch Manager for our Granite City, IL/St. Louis, MO location, AJ works closely with sales teams to deliver exceptional customer service.

In his multi-faceted role, he manages the branch’s daily operations and that of our Coyle Valve and Automation Center. AJ balances complying with company policies and fulfilling customer specifications for all valve automation. He provides quotes, enters orders, offers technical support, and oversees inventory. His goal as Branch Manager is to create an environment that takes care of our customers.

AJ started in the PVF business as a warehouseman. In 2001, Coyle Supply purchased the company, where he worked as an inside sales representative. AJ has been with Coyle Supply for over two decades. Throughout his time at Coyle, he has been promoted to Outside Sales Account Manager, Valve Automation Manager, and now Branch Manager.

When you see AJ, ask him about his favorite country artists. In his opinion, a song isn’t truly country music if it doesn’t include a fiddle and pedal steel guitar. On the weekends, AJ spends time outdoors, hunting, fishing, and hiking.
