Slide Products promotes new sales manager

Slide Products, Wheeling, Ill., has appointed Betsi Burns as its sales manager.

Burns joined the Slide team more than three years ago as business development manager, bringing more than 22 years of experience in the mold- and diemaking industry.

Current President and Sales Manager Michael Muth sees this as a new chapter in the capacity to continue growing and supporting their distributors and customer base. With this management change, Muth will focus on the company’s overall direction and spearhead larger projects that are necessary to meet future endeavours and challenges. His title has changed to chief strategist.

“When Betsi Burns agreed to join Slide, we laid out a three- to four-year plan to help transition from her traditional sales role into a position of leadership, working alongside Slide’s existing team of sales experts. Betsi has taken her existing knowledge of the moldmaking space and combined it with her new experience in injection molding to build a solid understanding of how she can support our customers, distributors, and team members,” said Muth.
