In his prior position as Group Vice President for Maxcess, Mr. Hage was instrumental in establishing the companies of Maxcess as the unquestioned market and technology leaders in the supply and service of engineered products for the web handling industry. He has championed many successful initiatives including the launch of next generation products such as the D-MAX series web guide systems, CYGNUS tension control and ergonomic solutions for winding. Hage has pushed for significant expansions of the user-friendly web sites, emphasized involvement in industry educational offerings such as 'Tech Tips' online videos and e-seminars as well as industry programs and associations.

"Specifically, in this past year, he has helped Tidland shorten delivery times, strengthen service offerings and develop more stringent quality assurance programs. Now, with this promotion, we look to Mr. Hage to do the same for the Fife and MAGPOWR operations as we focus our consolidated efforts on better serving our customers".
