The global AC drives manufacturer Vacon has appointed Tomas Duba the Managing Director for the company's sales offices in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
"During the past few years, Vacon has expanded its operations in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and there is a lot of potential for growth. Tomas Duba has a solid background in the AC drives business as well as in the sales and management positions. He will play an important role as we continue to grow in the region," says Matti Vekkeli, Regional General Manager for Vacon's operations in EMEA.
Tomas Duba will be responsible for operations throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia which include sales, marketing and after-market services. Vacon's Czech and Slovak operations are headquartered in Prague, and Vacon has several systems integrators, OEM clients and distributors in the two countries.
Most recently, Mr Duba held the position of the Managing Director in the Czech and Slovak subsidiary of FlexLink Systems, a worldwide leading manufacturer of flexible chain conveyors.
The former Managing Director of Vacon's subsidiary in the Czech Republic stepped aside from his position on 27 February 2012.
