Sto Corp. Introduces John McClellan as VP of Operations, John Yankovich to Retire

Sto Corp. announced that John McClellan has been named VP of operations, effective July 5, 2022. In his new position, he will be responsible for overseeing workforce utilization, supply chain operations and ensuring a safe manufacturing process. McClellan will replace John Yankovich, who is retiring after 17 years with Sto Corp.

McClellan brings a wealth of experience to his new position from a long career in both the military and the private sector. After serving as a weapons/engineering officer in the U.S. Navy for five years, with deployments to the Persian Gulf and the Adriatic Sea, he transitioned to a successful career in the manufacturing industry, most recently working as VP of operations at Temper Sealy International. Prior positions included plant manager at Owens Corning and operations manager at Anheuser-Busch.

“John has been successful everywhere he’s been, and he’ll be successful at Sto,” Yankovich said. “He has the discipline of a naval officer and a career’s worth of valuable experience. This hire is a home run.”

“I am walking into a great situation because of the work John Yankovich has done,” said McClellan. “He’s steered Sto through the supply chain issues of the last couple of years, and he successfully implemented StoCast production lines. His are big shoes.”

McClellan is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD.
