March 22, 2011

IPG Photonics Corp., Oxford, Mass., a manufacturer of fiber lasers and amplifiers, has appointed Chris Pilcher as sales manager for Canada. He has 25 years’ experience selling industrial lasers and systems to OEMs, integrators, and end users.

“I am very excited to see Chris onboard to lead our efforts in Canada,” said Mike Klos, general manager of IPG Photonics - Midwest Operations, Novi, Mich.

“I am happy to be joining such a forward-thinking organization as IPG,” said Pilcher, “and I believe that our fiber lasers will continue to offer considerable benefits compared to older laser technologies. Fiber lasers have proven themselves in numerous applications in all industries, and because of their reliability, high beam quality, high efficiency, small footprint, and lower total cost of ownership, they will continue to gain acceptance and increase market share. Fiber lasers have already become the tool of choice for many marking, welding, cutting, drilling, and cladding applications, and as more companies become aware of their capabilities, this will only increase.”
