Koh Young America Strengthens its Organization from Within and Opens the Doors for New Opportunities

Jan 09, 2023

Koh Young is proud to announce it has promoted Heriberto Cuevas Velazquez to Regional Sales Manager, Mexico and Ramiro Mora will be the Mexico Applications Team Leader. 

For over a decade with prominent electronic manufacturing service (EMS) provider in Mexico, Heriberto successfully implemented multiple programs to reduce downtime and improve productivity by analyzing manufacturing data and implementing corrective or preventative standards. Previously, as the Applications Engineering Project Manager at Koh Young America, Heriberto managed multiple customer implementation projects and helped increase the Koh Young team with cross-training and process standardization. Heriberto will become the Regional Sales Manager responsible for the “Bajio” territory, which covers parts of the states of Jalisco, Guanajuato, Queretaro, and Michoacan in Mexico.

Ramiro Mora will become the Applications Team Leader in Mexico. After 16 years with major Tier 1 EMS providers in Mexico, he transitioned to Koh Young America as a Field Service Engineer, and most recently an Application Engineer. Over the past 5 years, Ramiro has applied his proficiency in electronics manufacturing to help customers find ways to reduce costs and boost quality. A certified Green Belt with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a master’s degree specialized in productivity and quality, Ramiro will lead our Mexican team of applications engineers to help customers apply our inspection solutions more effectively and make life easier for them.

“When an organization promotes from within, no matter the level, employees can see that their input and experience are truly valued,” said Ramon Hernandez, Head of Sales and Service for Mexico & South America at Koh Young America. “Not only will these promotions strengthen our resolve to deliver best-in-class support to its customers, but it will also open doors for new growth and experience.”
