The TRUMPF Technology Center in California also has a new Site Manager, Andreas Holzki. Holzki also becomes a new Regional Manager for the Western region. He has been with TRUMPF for more than eight years and previously served as head of TRUMPF's Global Sales Excellence program. Holzki joins an experienced West Coast sales team that includes new Regional Sales Managers Pat Grace and Jade Van Hee.
"We are excited to bring more of the latest TRUMPF technology and expertise to manufacturers on a local level," said Burke Doar, TRUMPF Inc. Executive Vice President. "These investments renew our commitment to our West Coast customers. With updated demonstration machinery and a team of highly knowledgeable experts that includes more local service technicians based in the Western region, we are even better suited to meeting the needs of regional fabricators."

Formerly a North American sales manager at the TRUMPF Laser Technology Center in Plymouth, MI, the move marks Grace's return to the West Coast where he previously worked as a regional sales manager for TRUMPF's OEM laser product line.
