Applied Vision, a leading provider of machine vision inspection systems for the container manufacturing industry, has made two new appointments.
Jerry Shaffer (pictured top) has been appointed as vice president of operations while Mitch Reed (pictured bottom) has been promoted to the position of customer service manager.
“Supporting the growth of our existing employees is very important to us,” says Amir Novini, president and CEO of Applied Vision. “During this time of growth, we began our search for talented individuals to fill new positions from within the organisation. Our team consists of bright, customer-centric individuals and when such promotions take place, they typically integrate seamlessly into their new roles.”
Shaffer joined Applied Vision in 2008 as director of applications engineering with more than 20 years of experience at Delphi/GM where he led machine vision application development teams. He earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Kettering (formerly GMI), and his master’s degree in software engineering from Southern Methodist University (SMU). He will be responsible for leading manufacturing, customer service and purchasing.
In his new position, Reed will manage the customer service team and ensure customer satisfaction during and after the sales process.
