He will also work closely with Mahr’s sales leadership to further develop the distribution channel nationwide.

“There continues to be incredible technological advancements in the metrology industry, and as a leading manufacturer in the precision instrumentation industry, it is critical that we continue to expand our team with subject matter experts in the field to help customers take full advantage of these improvements,” said Bryan Orr, Vice President Sales Americas and Executive Director, Mahr Inc. “The addition of Regan, Tucker, Gail, Jon and  Tom will help us continue to build on Mahr’s unparalleled level of expertise, quality and customer service.”

The company also recently combined its two Providence centers into one location to create larger demo and training areas and bring its team under one roof to enhance collaboration. The upgraded facility includes a new factory layout designed to optimize production processes, incorporating a reorganization of assembly areas to improve material flow along with the standardization of workspaces.  Mahr has also made investments in new manufacturing machines and employed breakthrough intelligent part programming to produce standard air plugs and configurations more efficiently.
