Panasonic Home & Environment Company Announces Three Key Management Appointments

Panasonic Home & Environment Company (PHEC), which is committed to the green building industry, has made three key personnel appointments to enhance the growth of Panasonic’s energy-efficient ventilation fans. The management appointments include the following:

• Mark Yoss has been appointed National Sales Manager and will be responsible for strategic planning for the continuing growth of Panasonic ventilation fans. In addition to driving sales, he will oversee PHEC’s Customer Service. Mr. Yoss comes to Panasonic from Cooper Industries.

• Yu Kai has been named Director of Operations and his responsibilities include new, advanced and energy-efficient product development. Mr. Kai recently served as the Product Manager of Panasonic’s Air Movement Equipment team in Japan.

• Ann Marie Costello will serve as Inside Sales and Customer Service Associate. She has been with Panasonic for nine years, handling business operations and sales support. Her new responsibilities include sales support for the sales representative network, orders and troubleshooting customer concerns to enhance customer service.

“The addition of these key team players reinforces the Panasonic commitment to green manufacturing along with developing and providing industry-leading, energy-efficient products that significantly improve indoor air quality,” states Victor Flynn, National Marketing Manager, Panasonic Home & Environment Company. “Homeowners are showing a greater interest in green building standards and remodeling their homes with this in mind. For builders and remodelers, the knowledge to apply new ventilation standards such as ASHRAE 62.2 presents an enormous opportunity for growth.”

Panasonic ventilation fans offer extremely quiet operation with totally enclosed AC condensers and DC motors, with long life due to permanently lubricated motors as well as energy efficiency meeting ENERGY STAR requirements. To educate home owners on indoor air quality issues as well as cost effective and efficient whole-home ventilation, Panasonic has launched a new Web site: www.panasonic.com/ventfans.
