Stern Pinball has appointed two new vice presidents to support its plans for growth.
Ray Tanzer has been named vice president of manufacturing and from next week Kevin Schechtel will assume the role of vice president of supply chain management, program management and quality.
Tanzer started his career as a pinball designer and was formerly responsible for product development at Stern. He previously worked for Namco America before rejoining Stern in 2014.
Schechtel, meanwhile, joins the company from its key supplier, Suzo-Happ Group, where he most recently served as vice president of North American operations, global quality and continuous improvement. Earlier in his career, he worked at Motorola and Northrup Grumman.
“Ray and Kevin are great additions to our executive team,” said Gary Stern, chairman and CEO of Stern Pinball. “They fill complementary roles that are critically important to our continued growth and future success. Most importantly, they’re extraordinary individuals who fit well with our culture.”
