JMR Electronics, Inc. announced the upcoming global expansion of the company by naming a new EMEA sales manager, Iain Pickthall.

JMR is now poised to introduce their BlueStor line of video storage products to markets in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and will launch their international presence at IBC 2009 in Amsterdam.

Pickthall’s experience with broadcast and data storage industries spans more than two decades; he has previously worked in both sales and marketing for several start-up companies in addition to market-leading multinational NASDAQ companies. Additionally, he has also worked with key OEM partners in the EMEA region developing sales, integration and customer development.

"We are pleased to have Iain Pickthall join JMR as our EMEA sales director, as our readiness and ability to promote and build the JMR brand internationally will be best served by adding Pickthall’s expertise to our team," said Josef Rabinovitz, President and CEO of JMR Electronics, Inc. "For more than 25 years, JMR has established itself in the US as a leading storage industry innovator. We have developed several proven and reliable storage technologies for the broadcast and video post-production markets in the last 18 months, and the market timing is right for JMR to create a strong global customer and technology partner base," he added.

"JMR’s long history of achievements in the data storage space, in addition to the gaining popularity of its BlueStor family of solutions, is an impressive foundation from which my sales and marketing abilities can be of value to the company overseas," said Pickthall. "I look forward to helping JMR flourish in the EMEA market, and am excited to take part in the company’s formal introduction to the global marketplace during their first visit to IBC this year."
