Marketing of transmission products

Steve Clarke, AMG Managing Director, said, “When we decided to bring our innovative line of transmission products to North America, we knew we needed to attract top talent to succeed in the Americas Security and Infrastructure markets.

All three come from ComNet and before that IFS/GE Security and have been in the sales and marketing of transmission products for over 20 years. We believe the combined experience of all three is perfect to lead AMG into the North American Market,” Clarke added.

Numerous sales achievement

Dave Sinise is an Electrical Engineer and led ComNet ITS and Security Sales for the East Region since ComNet started in 2008. He set numerous sales achievement records along the way.

He was also a key driver in his former company’s product development plans, having a key understanding of the needs of the market and an ability to translate those into clear solutions the ever-evolving market requires. 

I’m enthused to be part of a company with a winning growth strategy. The products AMG has developed in the past few years have put the company exponentially ahead of every other competitor today. And the attention to detail allows AMG to be very cost-competitive, giving us a unique position in the market,” said Sinise.

Network and communication equipment

Dan was key in driving the record-setting sales achieved in ComNet’s Western Region

Dan Anderson, known for his technical abilities and managerial skills acquired from his degree from Texas Tech, comes to AMG from his former role as recent Director of Sales and Western Regional Sales Manager for ComNet.

Dan’s 25+ years of experience selling network and communication equipment to the commercial security, ITS, and Infrastructure markets, gives him a strong grasp on market and technology trends in the industries AMG competes in. Dan was key in driving the record-setting sales achieved in ComNet’s Western Region.

“AMG is uniquely positioned to be the next force in the Americas in terms of communication products. What we offer is measurably superior. I was part of IFS, then ComNet, and through hard work and a talented team, we made those companies the most successful transmission product companies of their era. I look forward to bringing AMG to that position very quickly,” commented Anderson.

Successful transmission product

Skip (Frank) Haight, recently retired ComNet Global Vice President of Marketing, was the second employee hired by George Lichtblau when starting ComNet in 2008.

Commented Haight on his new position, “I’ve been lucky in my career being able to lead two companies to become the acknowledged leader in their markets. I take pride in those accomplishments, and I appreciate Steve Clarke giving me the opportunity to do it a third time. AMG is uniquely positioned in all facets of competing in this market, the products, manufacturing, quality, and customer support are all second to none. My goal is to make our prospective customers aware of AMG and the advantages we bring to their communication product challenges.”

These new employees are step one in AMG’s expansion into the Americas. Coming soon is a new facility for offices, warehousing, and shipping. AMG plans on adding employees as the expansion progresses. AMG Systems offers an extensive line of fibre optic, copper, and wireless video and data transmission equipment that is uniquely designed to meet the needs of the Security, Intelligent Transportation System, Utility, and Industrial markets.
