Harrisburg, PA, February 5, 2008 - On-Q/Legrand, the leader in Home Systems, today announced the promotion of
four employees to fill key operations and marketing positions within the company. The
move is effective immediately, and reflects On-Q’s recognition of internal
talent and commitment to employee growth.
Fritz Werder, previously the Director of Purchasing, has been named Director
of Logistics and IT, and will supervise the company’s Purchasing, Customer
Service, IT, and Logistics functions. In addition, Jeffrey Fegley will
significantly expand his role as the Director of Operations and will work in
tandem with Werder to oversee On-Q’s facilities and overall operations.
Todd Regar, currently in charge of On-Q’s retail efforts, will be promoted
to Director of Retail, and will work with On-Q’s parent company, Legrand
North America, on national retail efforts. Amy Hahne’s role as
Director of Marketing for On-Q will be significantly expanded to include overseeing
On-Q’s strategic marketing efforts as they move through 2008 and beyond.
“Together, these key individuals represent 25-plus years of service
at On-Q, and many more within our industry. I’m thrilled to be
able to fill these critical roles from within our own talented team,” said
Doug Fikse, President and CEO of On-Q/Legrand. “On-Q is strong
and growing, and these appointments will help us serve our customers, expand
our service offering, and connect with new opportunities in the market.”
