Delcam strengthens dental team

Delcam has appointed Randy Wightman as Vice President for Dental Business Development in North America

Delcam has reinforced its strong commitment to the dental industry with the appointment of Randy Wightman as Vice President for Dental Business Development in North America. He will have full responsibility for developing business for the DentCAD design software and the DentMILL machining system in the region, including both OEM agreements within the industry and direct promotion to dental laboratories.

"Delcam's business in the dental industry is growing rapidly," commented Mr. Wightman. "All our customers value our "open" approach to dental manufacturing under which they can use any combination of scanning system, materials and machining equipment with our software. This is proving to be a welcome alternative to the "closed" systems offered previously by other suppliers, where customers had to purchase all these separate elements from a single source."

Mr. Wightman has been involved with both software and hardware technology for three decades, since gaining a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Utah. Throughout his career, he has worked with brand name OEMs, major accounts, and distribution channel creation and development. In particular, he delivered turnkey systems for major companies like IBM and EDS, and managed major worldwide customers like KEPCO (Korean Electric Power Company), California Highway Patrol, PRASA (Puerto Rico Water Company) and many others.

Commenting on the appointment, Delcam North America President Glenn McMinn said, "In his previous sales and marketing positions at Delcam, Randy was instrumental in setting sales records for the company over the last eleven consecutive years. I am confident that he will be equally successful in developing our business in the North American dental industry."
