Drammen – Norway, Wisconsin \u2013 US, February 2022\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the company\u2019s expansion strategy, the new office will facilitate local sales and support for the American market. Chris Nelson, appointed Managing Director of Virinco Americas, will lead the operations in the US. He brings more than 20 years of experience in automation, test, and measurement across a wide span of industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited and eager to lead the expansion of WATS in the Americas. We see the potential for significant growth in sales in this market,\u201d comments Chris.<\/p>\n

Virinco\u2019 s sales director responsible for WATS global expansion, Vidar Gr\u00f8n\u00e5s, said: \u201cDespite being in the \u2018Information Age\u2019 many companies in today\u2019s electronics industry suffer from severe, but often invisible, inefficiencies. Difficulties accessing and analyzing relevant manufacturing test data agree that the necessary improvements are near impossible. The result is significant time wasted on trivial data activities, reduced quality levels, and completely avoidable recalls and warranty claims. Problems that the industry needs to get to grips with as we calibrate to the post-pandemic world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of our long-term strategy, expanding sales in the global market is a key element. Virinco already have major US and American customers adapted to the WATS platform for global control of manufacturing, but having a Virinco office in the US is a game-changer, said Virinco CEO Tom Andres Lomsdalen. \u201cWe have known Chris for many years, and we know he will fit well with the culture and values at Virinco. We are extremely excited to have him on our team and eager to help new customers benefit from the WATS platform.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]\n
