Diamond wood is pleased to announce a strengthening of its Sales & Marketing efforts starting March 1, 2010. Previously, all Sales & Marketing was held in a single department which although cost efficient, provided limited focus into the main aspects of driving the sales process. Diamond Wood will now form four business units (Construction, Manufacturing, Distribution and Southeast Asia) and split apart the important role of Marketing. In this effort, new senior managers have been appointed as follows:
Mr. Bob Lu will take over as General Manager for the Construction sales team starting April 15. Bob brings nearly 10 years of wood industry relevant experience to Diamond Wood including leadership roles at VMS Chemicals and Finnforest where he was able to lead his team to sales of more than 100,000m3 of high performance wood in China. Bob is also the Vice President of the China Wood Preservation Association.
Mr. Nelson Hao will take over as General Manager for the Manufacturing sales team starting March 15. Nelson has more than 20 years experience in the Chinese wood industry including leadership roles at Solrac (wood coatings), PPG (wood coatings), Dynea (wood coatings and adhesives) and earlier roles at furniture manufacturers Custom Wood and Universal Furniture.
Mr. Jack Sun, presently our Sales & Marketing Director will assume a new leadership role as General Manager for the Distribution sales team. Prior to joining Diamond Wood in June, 2008, Jack held leadership roles at Wilsonart, Best Co., Arduous Asia and Kong Lin Engineering Co.; or more than 16 years in the construction and related industry. Jack will assist in the transitioning of his Construction, Manufacturing and Marketing responsibilities before fully focusing on the newly established Distribution sales team.
Mr. Derek Ting, presently our Purchasing Manager for Wood, will take over as our new Marketing Director effective March 1. Prior to joining Diamond Wood in November 2009, Derek had more than 15 years of cross continental experience in the global wood industry in a wide variety of roles including purchasing, sales, marketing, construction and operation of sawmills. Derek will also continue his role in wood purchasing while taking up the new responsibility for marketing at Diamond Wood.
Mr. Stan J. French, CEO for Diamond Wood will continue to oversee all export sales, particularly efforts related to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia where Diamond Wood has a presence in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.

De tent leeft nog en investeert. Als de economie aantrekt en de prijs van hout als grondstof verder stijgt, krijgt Accsys steviger grond onder de voeten. Voor de korte termijn blijf ik gereserveerd t.a.v. de koersontwikkeling. Het productie is duur en de capaciteitnog erg gering. Het wachten is op de nieuwe fabriek in China...
