Photonic Products Expands its Sales Team
Continuing growth and developing markets in the USA, Canada and South America has lead to Photonic Products, the UK opto-electronics device manufacturer and laser diode specialist company expanding its sales team with two new sales managers in the USA and a new sales assistant in the UK to help with the extra demand for its custom designed laser diode modules and laser assemblies from OEMs in the industrial, medical, scientific and defence markets.

He is based in Oregon.
Tracy Duckworth joined in May 2007 as Sales Assistant to deal with the increasing volume of new sales enquiries. She has had several years experience in a high tech sales environment and works at Photonic Products' Hatfield Broad Oak, UK headquarters.
