New sales director for the Asia region Stuart Manser has been appointed sales director for the Asia region for Beta Laser Mike.

Mexico conference

The non-ferrous division of MFL group (Frigeco) organised a technical conference in Mexico, with the main target to explain the latest technologies and products that Frigeco offers to the wire industry. The topics discussed were focused on technical aspects related to the full range of drawing machines, stranding machines and cable insulating lines. The event was celebrated over two days in two different locations (México DF, Monterrey) receiving a total audience of approximately 65 technicians from more than ten different Mexican companies. Due to the success of this kind of event, the MFL Group intends to repeat the experience in other countries of the region. The goal is to make the Central and South American customer confident about the technical and technological cooperation that Frigeco can provide as a reliable supplier.

Mr Manser has been with Beta LaserMike since 1990, holding a number of key positions including UK & Ireland sales manager, general

manager of Beta LaserMike Ltd (UK) and, most recently, as western USA district sales manager. Prior to Beta LaserMike, Mr Manser developed extensive experience in the field of metrology. He spent his early career as an engineering metrologist for Rolls-Royce Aero Engines, and holds professional qualifications in both mechanical and production engineering. In this new role, Mr Manser replaces Ken Wright, president of Beta LaserMike, who has been assuming the role of sales director in Asia. Mr Manser will be responsible for overseeing the Asia-Pacific sales strategy and implementation, as well as working closely with Beta LaserMike’s channel partner network to increase the company’s presence and delivery of measurement and control solutions in China, Japan, Korea and South East Asia. ❍ ❍ Stuart Manser
