Pleora Technologies, a provider of industrial video connectivity, has established a European office – in Copenhagen, Denmark – to better serve its customers and channel partners located in Europe and the Middle East.
The company's European expansion follows the recent addition of a dedicated sales engineering resource, in Shanghai, responsible for assisting product integrations in China and Taiwan. Pleora is also planning a significant expansion of its headquarters location in Ottawa, Canada, during the latter half of 2013.
Leading Pleora’s European office will be Gunnar Jonson, a sales and marketing executive with over 20 years’ experience in the vision industry, working with manufacturers of cameras, sensors, and components used in automated inspection systems.
Jonson previously established the first European office for Dalsa, was responsible for product management and marketing at camera manufacturer JAI, and most recently served as marketing director at Copenhagen Sensor Technology, a manufacturer of cameras for military and defence applications.
'Pleora has a great reputation in Europe,' said Jonson. 'With its outstanding track record in Europe, and its robust product line, I’m excited about becoming part of the team.'
