“We at Tamron USA feel very confident that this restructure prepares us for the difficult road ahead,” said Gregg Maniaci, president and CEO. “We have a new team of talented, skilled people with tremendous abilities and experience that can lead the way. Our internal departments are now aligned to operate more efficiently, and our field staff has never been stronger.”
The company’s restructure includes the promotion of Pat Simonetti to director of operations, overseeing order, distribution and service; the promotion of Daniel Davies to director of sales where he will oversee sales for the photo imaging and industrial optics divisions; and the appointment of Stacie Errera as vice-president of marketing and communications.
