Tasked with the responsibility to oversee all aftermarket services, he reports to Peter Fox, Senior Vice President of Sales.
βDavid has a world of experience in the manufacturing world. It made him an interesting choice for this position,β said Fox. βHeβs a jack-of-all trades and has had success in many different management and supervisory positions. Somic America continues to grow, with more customers and greater responsibilities. David is the right person to help us maintain and handle that growth and what lies ahead.β
Young has 29 years of manufacturing experience, including recent Wisconsin stints as the Manager of Operations for an e-Commerce company and as the Sales Manager for a carton manufacturer. Heβs also served as a General Manager, Plant Manager, and in other supervisory positions, including as the Fulfillment Manager and partner for a contract manufacturing center.
Handling SOMICβs aftermarket services, Young will engage customer involvement with oversight of customer technical support and the spare parts division.
βWhat intrigued me most about joining Somic America,β said Young, βwas the opportunity to have a noticeable impact on the growth and success of a company. I believe the timing is perfect. With low employment, companies are increasingly turning to automation. SOMIC offers high quality, reliable and fast retail-ready machines with a small footprint, making it a perfect fit for our customers.β
During his free time, Young enjoys attending his childrenβs sporting events, doing home improvement projects, and devoting time to Junior Achievement. βA personal goal for being a part of Junior Achievement is to advocate for manufacturing as a career in our schools,β he said. βI donβt think it is promoted very well.β
