New Manager Appointed for Sandvik DieCutting
Sandvik DieCutting Products has announced the appointment of Tom Dickson as Product Manager DieCutting responsible for the US and Canada.
Tom, who has a BA Economics and BS Business, has 10 years' service with Sandvik in the Strip and Wire Divisions. He has extensive sales experience in the diemaking industry having focused on this market sector for most of his Sandvik career. In his new role, Tom has the key responsibility for managing and developing the sales and marketing of Sandvik's cutting and creasing diemaking rules to the printing, packaging and board converting industries throughout the US and Canada.
He now leads a sales team providing total regional coverage. In addition to his management responsibilities, Tom will continue with product sales in the Northeast. Gary Smith is responsible for sales in the Southeast, Ryan Flowers in the mid-West and Jacques Valiquette in Canada.
The recent appointment of John Foster for the West Coast territory completes the nationwide sales coverage. Coming to Sandvik from a project and product management role, John has extensive sales experience in the food services industry - a major market sector for Sandvik's diecutting products.
Completing the sales team and another recent appointment is Michell Shembarger in Inside Sales. Her role is to focus on customer service and the support of the external sales team.
Says Tom Dickson, "The key benefit of having national sales coverage is the ability to bring new products quickly to market. Continuous product improvement by Sandvik's research and development organisation and response to market demands for advanced cutting and creasing rules, capable of handling new and improved substrates, has led to several new and recent product launches. It also means that we can provide the high levels of technical support for our existing product ranges, which our diemaking customers expect."
