BOWE BELL + HOWELL Grows Sales Team And Boosts Support For New

In response to high levels of interest in its groundbreaking new production scanner, Ngenuity, BOWE BELL + HOWELL is expanding its sales presence across North America with the addition of a sales engineer and two regional sales managers who will service two newly created regions.

Ngenuity scans a wider range of documents - from rice paper to plastic cards to stuffed envelopes to fetal monitoring strips - than any other scanner in its class. It does so at best in class speeds - up to 150 pages per minute (ppm) at 200 dpi in color, bitonal and grayscale.

"VARs and end-users are itching to get their hands on Ngenuity," said Russell Hunt, President of BOWE BELL + HOWELL Scanners. "To accommodate this growing interest, we are adding some of our best and brightest, who have deep knowledge of our products and customers' needs, to the sales team. These individuals will be valuable additions to the team as we continue to work to showcase Ngenuity's features and benefits across North America."

Seasoned Personnel to Take Charge
Lara Muldoon, a senior product manager for Ngenuity, will serve as regional sales manager for the new Ohio Valley region, which includes Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Lara has a decade of experience in the high-tech industry. Prior to joining BOWE BELL + HOWELL in 2005, she worked for Motorola, Inc., in product marketing and development, market research and project management.
