Bishop-Wisecarver Appoints Michael Mcveigh National Sales Manager
Pittsburg, CA - - August 10, 2006 - - Today, Bishop-Wisecarver Corporation announced it has appointed Michael McVeigh, 20 year veteran in the bearing and linear motion industries, National Sales Manager. In his new role, McVeigh will manage the company's North American direct sales force and manufacturer's rep organizations.
McVeigh most recently held a similar position as Director of Sales at NSK Precision America, Inc., where he was responsible for OEM and distribution sales throughout the United States. Under his leadership, NSK Precision America's sales increased substantially, largely due to McVeigh's strategy for expanding development across specific markets, and initiatives that resulted in a significant increase in sales to after-market distributors.
"Bishop-Wisecarver has a superior product line, and a culture that fosters innovation, not only in product development, but in all areas of the operation," says McVeigh. "I am proud to represent BWC, and I look forward to 'getting the wheels in motion'."
Prior to his position as Director of Sales, McVeigh held other roles at NSK Precision America, including National Sales Manager, and National Sales and Marketing Manager. He has previously held key Sales Management roles at American Koyo, a manufacturer of ball and roller bearings, NSK Corporation, and MRC Division of TRW, a manufacturer of ball bearings.
"Michael comes to us with a wealth of industry knowledge," says Pamela Kan, President of Bishop-Wisecarver. "We are delighted to have filled this key position with a seasoned industry professional who can be integral in growing BWC and lead the effort in taking us to the next level."
