New
Partnership Solidifies Leadership
Team at Metrofuser
Laser printer parts
manufacturer Metrofuser (www.metrofuser.com) announced
that it has implemented a new partnership agreement between co- founder
and current Vice President of Marketing and Logistics, Will DeMuth, and
current Chief Financial Officer, Eric Katz. Todd Katz, former Vice
President of Sales has sold his share of the company. "Todd played an
integral role in starting this company," Demuth remarked in a statement
issued to employees. "His talents and hard work were vital to the early
success of Metrofuser. We all wish him the best of success in his future
endeavors."
With the
new partnership agreement, Eric Katz will become Co- President with
DeMuth while continuing his role as Chief Financial Officer. DeMuth will
continue his role as Marketing and Logistics lead. The new partnership
is intended to solidify the leadership team at Metrofuser.
Mark Makuch remains the Director of Operations and Ken Lang had already
stepped in and taken over Todd Katz's position as head of the sales
department in 2007. "With Eric as Co-President, we can strengthen the
foundation that has made Metrofuser the
world-class printer parts manufacturer that it is today,"
DeMuth stated. "We will
continue to improve
upon that legacy and provide our customers with the best solutions that
the industry has to offer."
Since 2005, Eric Katz
has been instrumental in establishing the momentum that Metrofuser has
created for itself. Katz's entrepreneurial experience began as
co-founder and Director of Research of Jumar Technologies, a New
York-based software company. Katz, a graduate of Yale University, also
spent several years teaching math, English and creative writing at a
public school in the South Bronx and currently sits on the Board of
Advisors for the Bronx Academy of Letters.
Katz joined Metrofuser
and his diverse skill set and versatility have been invaluable in
Metrofuser's rapid development.
He has helped steer the ship through three consecutive years of 60+
percent revenue growth and proved his executive value by taking the lead
role in Metrofuser's expansion to the West Coast, where David Burchell
currently runs Metrofuser’s Santa Ana distribution center. "I don't
think we could have pulled off opening our new facility in southern
California without Eric's leadership and meticulousness," Demuth said.
"There are so many operational, logistical and administrative challenges
associated with taking a successful small business and making it a national entity,
but with the team we've assembled here, I feel confident that we can
handle anything."
Next on the horizon is expanding the
production, engineering and distribution facilities in New Jersey. "I
look forward to this partnership with Will," Eric Katz added, “and I’m
really excited by the opportunities that our relocation will afford us.
In a larger facility, we’ll be able to service more customers and
explore more markets, build our dedicated team and maintain our obsessive
commitment to our customers’
satisfaction."
What else will this new
partnership bring? Katz and
DeMuth both agree that Metrofuser must continue to explore strategic
partnership and acquisition opportunities, launch incentive programs for
employees and partners, and more. DeMuth
added, "We will, of course, continue with our never-ending new product
developments and commitment to product quality."
