Maxcess appoints VP of sales

Maxcess International has appointed John Walker as vice president of sales. He will lead the team of sales representatives responsible for sales and support of Magpowr, Fife and Tidland customers throughout North America and South East Asia. He will also take responsibility for customer, technical and field service.

Walker most recently spent 16 years as vice president at Exlar Corporation and has also served as sales representative for Power/mation, a distributor of Magpowr products. He has a Bachelor of science degree in electrical and computer engineering, with a concentration in biomedical engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

‘John's industry experience and proven success at improving the customer experience through everyday interactions make him a great addition to the Maxcess team,’ said Greg Jehlik, CEO of Maxcess. ‘His knowledge and personal drive for improvement will set the tone for our talented internal and external teams to meet and exceed the unique needs of our customers.’

John Walker added: ‘Under the Maxcess umbrella, the brands of Magpowr, Fife and Tidland represent the best that the industry has to offer in tension control, web guiding, winding and slitting. It is unique to have the chance to sell products from a brand that literally invented a technology as Fife did with web guides over 70 years ago. I am excited to have the opportunity to lead the effort to provide Maxcess' customers with a world class experience in every aspect of working with us and using our products.’
