BROMONT, CANADA ⎯ June 2012 ⎯ Cogiscan, the leading track, trace and control solution provider for the electronics manufacturing industry, announces that it has hired Jörg Both as its newest application engineer for Europe effective immediately.

In this position, Jörg will help build Cogiscan’s customer base and provide local support to its fast-growing customer base in Europe. This includes direct Cogiscan customers as well as its partners’ customers, including Juki Automation Systems.

Jörg is based in Germany and comes to Cogiscan from pb tec, the company’s distributor in Germany and other German-speaking countries. This previous experience with Cogiscan’s products and technologies will prove beneficial to his new role within the company. Additionally, Jörg brings experience in mechanics, electrical engineering, electronics and computer science to Cogiscan.

I am very happy to have Jörg join our team. This is immediate help for Cogiscan since he has been involved in several customer projects in Europe already and knows the product well,” said André Corriveau, Co-President of Cogiscan. “His past years at pb tec and education also prepared him well to understand our customers’ environments. Having someone based in Germany will improve local support for all our customers, distributors and partners in Europe, and demonstrates our commitment to the European market.”

Over the last few years with pb tec, I was involved in many Cogiscan projects. I always appreciated the professional support and innovative products that Cogiscan brings forward to solve real-life manufacturing problems. I am proud to join the team and I look forward to taking part in its growing success in Europe,” said Jörg.
