Static Control has announced the promotion of Ken Lalley (pictured) to Managing Director of European Operations, effective November 1, 2014.

Based at the company’s European headquarters in Reading, United Kingdom, Lalley has worked for Static Control for more than nine years with responsibility for various sales regions, during which time the European business has seen sustained growth.

Lalley is honoured to lead the company’s European operations, stating, “This is a great opportunity for me to continue to drive our focus on customer support, with a range of IP-savvy products, excellent customer service and lots of added value. I am looking forward to continuing that success with further new initiatives.”

“We have been working on a programme to come closer to our customers which has seen many successful initiatives. For example, the opening of our Spanish, German and Turkish distribution centres, a well-received seminar programme in 2014 and the implementation of additional new product ranges and infrastructure, to name but a few.”

President Bill Swartz commented on the promotion, stating, “Ken has been a tremendous asset to Static Control since he joined. He has led the European sales effort for many years and he’s proven himself as a driver of our overall success in Europe.
