Detection Technology’s global sales and business responsibilities are divided so that Michael Smith, Vice President of Sales, Americas, will assume responsibility for the Americas. Arve Lukander, President EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India and Africa), will lead the EMEIA region, and Chen Wu, President APAC (Asia-Pacific), will lead the APAC region. The composition of Detection Technology’s management group remains unchanged. The change has no impact on the company’s financial reporting.
