In fact, even after selling the business, Dartez’s involvement with the company did not end. Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which destroyed the Royce plant in New Orleans, Dartez was enlisted by ITT to help them rebuild a new manufacturing facility in Charlotte, NC, which ultimately turned into a three-year commitment.
So he’s not surprised people still think of him as the Royce guy.
