Hot runner technology company Mold-Masters (Georgetown, Ontario / Canada; www.moldmasters.com) has expanded its direct sales network in France by purchasing its French distribution agency. Mold-Masters said the existing sales and service staff will largely remain the same and the company will retain the agency’s location for its sales and service office.

Fabrice Fairy will take over the leadership of the region for Mold-Masters. She formerly worked for the French agency and spent the last few years at Mold-Masters’ global headquarters in Canada. “We are excited by the future opportunity to establish even closer direct ties with our customers in France and to provide even stronger technical and commercial collaboration,” commented Jonathon Fischer, president and CEO of Mold-Masters.
