Accu-Sort(R) Names New Managing Director to Strengthen Support for Auto ID Customers in Europe



    Accu-Sort Systems, a leader in technological solutions for auto ID
    and bar-code data capture, today announced that Andreas Knoll has
    joined the company as managing director for its Europe/GmbH
    operations. In this role, he will provide leadership to support and
    expand Accu-Sort´s customer base throughout Europe.

    Mr. Knoll´s appointment is part of the company´s overall strategy
    to strengthen European operations. Under the reorganization and
    improved integration with Accu-Sort´s U.S. operations, the European
    office has boosted product reliability, delivery and service. Over the
    last six months, Accu-Sort Europe´s project funnel has increased by 38
    percent. Accu-Sort´s European office has grown to 50 employees, and
    there are plans to add additional sales, service and program
    management talent.

    "Our goal is to strengthen our partnership with European customers
    by building a robust fulfillment and technology team, assuring
    reliability, and being easy to deal with," Mr. Knoll explained. "This
    requires attracting the best talent, cultivating customer-centric
    behavior, and expecting employees to take ownership of customer
    satisfaction."

    With more than 18 years of management experience, Mr. Knoll comes
    to Accu-Sort from X-Rite GmbH, a manufacturer of color measurement
    systems and light laboratory equipment for the automobile industry,
    where he served as Managing Director. Under his leadership, X-Rite´s
    operations in Europe were restructured, resulting in double-digit
    sales growth. Prior to that, he worked for Teradyne GmbH, a
    telecommunications test equipment manufacturer, where he served in
    management roles with progressive responsibility, culminating as
    Director of Sales for Europe.

    "Andreas brings a wealth of experience in general management and
    strategic international sales and marketing," said Accu-Sort president
    Gregg Branning. "His leadership is an important part of Accu-Sort´s
    investment in Europe, made to support European customers with the same
    level of service and technology expertise that customers in North
    America enjoy."
