"Our strong focus on vertical markets, language capability, cultural awareness and proximity to our customers are key elements to our successful growth in these regions," says Hans van der Linde, Tait Managing Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

"Central and Eastern Europe are emerging markets for Tait and with that growth it's important we move closer to our customers across the region to improve our ability to access markets and levels of service and support provided."

Mr Preclik, an Austrian citizen, has held sales and marketing positions with Philips Electronics and Austrian Airlines, as well as, most recently a general manager position with a German CRM software company.

"The launch of the Vienna facility will allow Tait to embrace a new realm of business opportunities throughout the regions, as well as further enhance its relationships with current customers. It's exciting to be part of that progress and global growth," says Mr Preclik.

"The entire management team is extremely positive about this step forward in addressing the exciting, emerging markets in the European, Middle Eastern and African regions.
