According to William Obras, general manager – Americas at Rego-Fix, Bannister brings a rare combination of traditional manufacturing experience and a solid business education to his new position. “It is just this type of background that convinced us that Bryan was a perfect fit for the OEM manager position and the Rego-Fix team,” Obras says.
