IPG Photonics Corporation, the world leader in high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers, has appointed Kevin Arnold as regional sales manager, Midwest. Kevin, an industry veteran with over 25 years in the industrial laser industry, has vast experience selling industrial lasers and systems to OEM's, integrators and end users most recently with ESAB Welding & Cutting and EWI.
"I am very excited to see Kevin on-board in the Midwest," states Bill Shiner, VP industrial markets. "Kevin is a seasoned laser professional who is well known and well-liked in the laser industry. Kevin is a perfect fit for IPG's team and will complement our efforts in the Midwest."
"I am proud to be joining such a forward thinking organization as IPG," Arnold states, "and believe that our fiber lasers will continue to offer considerable benefits as compared to older laser technologies. Fiber lasers have proven themselves in numerous applications and will continue to grow due to their reliability, high beam quality, high wall-plug efficiency, small footprint, and lower total cost of ownership. Fiber lasers have already become the tool of choice for many marking, welding, cutting, drilling, and cladding applications and will only increase as more companies become aware of their capabilities."
