SHINANO KENSHI CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PERSONNEL PROMOTIONS IN U.S. OFFICE
Los Angeles, CA – April 24, 2007 – Shinano Kenshi Corporation SKC (U.S.), a leading Los Angeles, CA-based manufacturer of electronic motors for the automotive, medical, office, and computer peripheral markets, has announced the promotion of three employees. Marcel Azary, former Western Region Manager has been named Director of Sales, Western U.S., Dave Rahusen, former Eastern Region Manager, has been named Director of Sales, Eastern U.S., and Crystal Rodriguez, former Executive Assistant, has been named Administrative Assistant.
“For the past nine years, Marcel Azary has been a dedicated, hard working regional manager who has been instrumental in increasing sales by bringing new accounts and business within his region to SKC,” said Rex Bergsma, President, Shinano Kenshi Corporation (U.S.). “He has helped introduce and promote SKC’s new products and services and has succeeded in getting them placed with a number of companies including those that will become some of SKC’s largest accounts.” According to Bergsma, Azary’s regional “footprint” and overall responsibilities will undergo few changes. However, his new position allows him to better serve current and future SKC customers and to provide added support for regional sales representatives who report to him.
“During his three years as a regional manager, Dave Rahusen re-tooled SKC’s eastern and mid-western sales areas and helped oversee the evolution of nearly a dozen new customers,” said Bergsma. “Through his efforts, SKC has been able to build strong relationships with customers which led to growth in current market share and business prospects for the future.” Rahusen serves on Shinano Kenshi’s Representative Council and has been instrumental in developing improvements in SKC’s relationships with the company’s sales partners. According to Bergsma, Rahusen’s geographical responsibilities will remain unchanged, but his new position as a Director will provide him with greater opportunities for revenue growth and business development.
In her former position as Executive Assistant, Crystal Rodriguez was responsible for a variety of contributions toward improving SKC’s office environment. “In addition to providing key administrative support for SKC employees, Crystal has also been instrumental in the company’s marketing program, website, development of promotional collateral, and public relations,” said Bergsma. Rodriquez has been an employee of SKC for twelve months.
