Sparklike is expanding its presence in North America with the establishment of Sparklike Inc., led by the new president of North America operations, Kingston Eck.
Company officials say the move reflects Sparklike’s long-term strategy for North America, one of the company’s “most important markets for non-destructive gas fill measurement in insulating glass units (IGUs).” Officials explain that establishing Sparklike Inc. allows the company to bring expertise closer to partners and customers in the region, with faster response times, more direct technical support and a stronger local point of contact for North American accounts.
“Sparklike has a great foundation, and its handheld devices are known in the United States market,” says Eck. “I am excited to bring my knowledge and experience to spread the word of Sparklike and our laser product line even wider in the North American market.”
In his new role, Eck will lead Sparklike Inc.’s commercial operations across the region. His responsibilities include driving commercial growth and deepening relationships with existing and prospective customers. Officials note that Eck brings a strong track record in the IG industry. He started his career in 2013 at Bystronic Glass Inc. and previously served as president at Viprotron North America Inc. His background spans the equipment and services side of IGU production.
