Sellmark Corporation CEO named “Great Woman of Texas”

(MANSFIELD, TEXAS 2017/10/10) – Sellmark Corporation’s CEO, Dianna Sellers, is being honored as one of the Fort Worth Business Press’ “Great Women of Texas”. This year, a mere 25 women were selected to the list!

With Sellers at the helm, the Mansfield-based optics company has seen vast growth in 2017, starting up a new European office in Bulgaria earlier this year. This, coupled with an aggressive sales increase, makes it no surprise that Dianna is being honored alongside some of the sharpest and most renowned women in the Lone Star State, if not the entire country.

The event honors outstanding women in the state of Texas who are being recognized for their significant accomplishments in business, as well as their civic and social contributions. Each woman honored is a trailblazer in their area of business, but it is their dedication to family and the community that makes them stand out. Dianna Sellers is no exception, heading a successful company in an area of business historically dominated by males.

Sellmark Stands With Texas Hog Hunters Association to Oppose Sid Miller

(MANSFIELD, TEXAS 2017/02/22) – Sellmark and its brands stand with the Texas Hog Hunters Association in helping to stop the introduction of a new Warfarin based pesticide, approved by Texas AG Sid Miller, to control the feral hog population. Sellmark and Texas Hog Hunters Association believe in hunting, trapping and aerial management to protect landowners from the millions of dollars of damage hogs cause each year, but discourage the inhumane and unsafe use of poisons. While Warfarin may kill hogs, it may also put other wildlife, humans and the entire ecosystem in harm’s way.

“For Texas to introduce a poison into the equation is a bad decision and could likely contaminate humans who unknowingly process and eat feral hogs,” said Texas Hog Hunters Association founder Scott Dover. Sellmark President James Sellers added, “We want to take a stand against using poisons to control wildlife populations. Any animal that accidentally ingests the poison or feeds on a hog carcass may be exposed to the harmful toxin; humans relying on feral hogs for sustenance may also be at risk.

To join the fight against Warfarin-based pesticides, please visit the Texas Hog Hunters Association website and click ‘Sign the Petition’. You can also contact your state representative or voice your concerns to the Texas Department of Agriculture. THHA is an organization for Texas hunters to share knowledge and tactics dedicated to the hunting and population control of Texas feral hogs.
