Hitachi Appoints Ray Soltys To Position Of Director of Sales, Business Group

Hitachi Home Electronics (America), Inc., Business Group has announced the appointment of Ray Soltys to the position of Director of Sales, Business Group, effective immediately. Mr. Soltys will be responsible for sales of Hitachi LCD projectors and Hitachi Software interactive panels and whiteboards.

Mr. Soltys has been with Hitachi since 2000, advancing from regional sales manager to become national sales manager in October 2002. During his time with Hitachi, Mr. Soltys has contributed significantly to the company’s continued position as the leading projector manufacturer in the pro A/V industry, while helping expand sales to Central and South America.

In his new position, Mr. Soltys looks forward to continued success and growth. “Given Hitachi’s tremendous success in the past, a main priority of mine is to keep the same business practices intact while continuing to grow our projector and interactive whiteboard businesses,” he said. “We have done a terrific job reaching beyond traditional markets while also expanding into new regions. Four years ago, we began efforts to grow Hitachi’s business in South America and it’s gone extremely well for us. This region offers new opportunities for growth as South America continues to adopt cutting-edge presentation technology.”

According to Mr. Soltys, Hitachi’s dedication to innovation and providing end-users with the lowest cost of ownership in the industry lies at the heart of the company’s success. “Our networking solutions for Hitachi LCD projectors has been a huge selling point across the board, since it allows users to control and manage their investment from a remote location,” he said. “Plus, that investment goes farther with Hitachi projectors because of our commitment to customer service, long lamp life, and very little maintenance.”
