DEK Names New Business Manager for Western Region
DEK continues to strengthen its Americas business team, today announcing the appointment of Mr. Aram Kardjian to the position of Western Regional Business Manager.
While the company maintains its leading position in and commitment to the traditional SMT market, DEK has also developed innovative materials deposition solutions for semiconductor packaging, medical electronics, fuel cells and photovoltaics, among others. Appointing a seasoned expert with broad knowledge in all of these markets was an essential element to DEK's long-term strategic growth initiatives.
"As DEK's knowledge base and expertise have grown over the last several decades, so has our ability to engineer unique solutions for next-generation, non-traditional applications," says Neil MacRaild, DEK Americas General Manager. "The future growth of our business requires and individual with a background and skill set that enables our continued development in these markets and I'm confident that Aram is the ideal candidate."
Having worked in the electronics industry for over 23 years, Kardjian brings multifaceted experience and extensive industry knowledge to the DEK team. Before joining DEK, Kardjian held positions at some of the industry's top firms, most notably semiconductor leader Disco Hi-Tec America, where he spent the previous eleven years of his career and was responsible for implementing new revenue-generating programs and developing a customer base of market-leading, Fortune 500 companies.
"DEK's 'Expect More' philosophy invites customers to tap into our knowhow and depth of technical expertise - the essence of DEK's success and our customers' competitive edge," says Kardjian. "I am very excited about my new role at DEK and look forward to ensuring that customers consistently receive more support, more technical insight and more productivity-enhancing, process-enabling solutions."
Among Kardjian's top priorities are the continuation of DEK's long-standing record of exceptional customer support, further developing DEK's reach into non-traditional markets and ensuring that growth targets and corporate development metrics are met or exceeded. As Western Regional Business Manager, Kardjian will be based in Scottsdale, Arizona and will report to Americas General Manager, Neil MacRaild.
