Zylight announces Samuel Thomas has joined the company as national sales manager for North America, effective Dec. 1. The company also announced USHIO America will serve as its exclusive North American distributor, which will allow Zylight and USHIO to combine dealer networks and service more industries and locations.

Based out of West Palm Beach, Fla., Thomas will identify and secure major sales opportunities in North and South America. He will also oversee the recruitment, evaluation, and management of a network of manufacturer reps throughout the region. Thomas previously served as a product manager for Flanders Scientific, and spent more than four years with Vitec Group as a channel accounts manager and business and development manager. "We're very pleased that Samuel has joined the company because he really understands our industry and can help us grow," says Joe Arnao, president of Zylight. "We're also excited about our distribution reorganization because it will help us deliver a better service experience to more lighting professionals, and our channel partners, in more vertical markets. With all our ordering and logistics handled through USHIO's North American distribution hub, Zylight can provide better service for our customers and even fill orders the same day on stock items."
