Lyndex-Nikken Expands Sales Team

Lyndex-Nikken has expanded its sales team with the addition of two new Regional Sales Representatives. James Hampton is the new Regional Sales Representative for Texas and Louisiana, and Andrew Mecca is the new Regional Sales Representative for South Carolina.

"Hampton and Mecca have extensive hands-on expertise in manufacturing with programming and operating CNC machine tools as well as excelling in servicing customers. This expansion of our sales team demonstrates our commitment to further support customers in these states," said a company spokesperson.

Hampton has a well-rounded background in manufacturing, sales and customer service. He has 10 years' manufacturing experience as a former owner of a CNC aerospace and defense manufacturer. His expertise ranges from CAD/CAM programming, machine set-up and fixturing to sales and service for customers. Hampton's skillset enabled him to excel at solving customer's challenges, with a focus on the aerospace and defense industry. Additionally, he served 13 years of active-duty service in the U. S. Marine Corps. His Military Occupation Specialty (MOS) was 5811-Military Police, and he also served as a Marine Corps Recruiter as a Staff Sergeant of Marines. Over the course of his military service he was stationed in the U.S. as well as Japan.

Mecca has nine years of experience programming and operating CNC machine tools as well as troubleshooting and streamlining manufacturing production processes. His strong manufacturing and CNC background coupled with vertical market knowledge-including automotive, tool and die and aerospace-enabled him to excel at solving machining problems. He started his career at a tool and die shop for the automotive industry where he completed an Apprenticeship 2000 program and trained apprentices in CNC programming and manual machine work. Mecca has an associate degree from Central Piedmont Community College in Mechatronics, robotics and automation engineering, a journeymen's certificate in CNC machining and a geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) certificate.
