With a career spanning nearly 20 years at Samsung Techwin, Lee has headed up the overseas sales and marketing activities of the company’s digital camera division and has spent time living in the UK, Germany and France as well as Korea.
Directly prior to his appointment as managing director, Lee was the overseas sales and marketing director for Samsung Techwin’s professional security division.
Based in Korea, he was directly responsible for developing sales growth both in Europe and the Americas.
Important time in the company’s development
Commenting on his new role, Lee – who will be based at the company’s European headquarters in Chertsey – explained: “I’m very happy to be heading up Samsung Techwin Europe at such an important time in the company’s development. We have a great team, an exciting product range and have enjoyed massive growth over the past two years.”
Lee is far from complacent about the task ahead, though. “There is still much to do as we continue to work towards our goal of becoming the Number One security solutions provider.”
Asked about his immediate plans for the company, Lee added: “This year will see a focus on developing our IP and solutions capabilities which will give our customers enhanced value and benefits.”
Lee wants Samsung Techwin Europe to be a true market-driven company. “As such,” he continued, “we need to ensure that we address the demands of our customers, and this means investment in strengthening our organisation still further.”
Challenges for the future
For Lee, the European market is “complex” and the growth in popularity of both IP and network technology – as well as integrated security solutions – brings forth many challenges.
“We will therefore be taking more ownership of product development for our market,” asserted Lee. “One of the first things we will do is create a European testing facility to ensure compatibility and quality of the solutions we deploy. We will also continue with our development of ‘Smart’ security solutions for the consumer market.”
Samsung is one Europe’s fastest-growing professional security brands. The company’s security products, which are widely accessible across Europe via an extensive network of distributors, are highly respected for their quality.
Substantial investment in R&D has resulted in a massive expansion of the Samsung product range in recent times, and the company is now able to provide complete security solutions for any number of applications.
Developing products to meet defined needs
By listening carefully to its clients, Samsung continues to develop products that meet the current and future needs of security professionals.
Also, by following this path the company has developed a number of unique technologies specifically for use in security applications. These new technologies have ensured that Samsung’s professional security products have been consistently rated very highly in independent product tests.
Samsung’s professional security products are supplied and supported by Samsung Techwin Europe across Europe, Russia and the CIS. Aside from the UK hq, the company also operates local offices in France, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Spain and Russia.
Samsung Techwin Europe provides a fully comprehensive three-year warranty, a free system design service to help customers choose the ideal products and expert technical support.
