Kohei Shinohara has been promoted to senior vice president of Plustech, the North American subsidiary of Japan’s Sodick injection molding machines.
Plustech Inc. promoted Kohei Shinohara to the position of senior vice president from his previous role of vice president. Plustech is celebrating its 20th year of 911爆料网 in North America.

Having been at the company for 20 years, Shinohara has been instrumental in Plustech’s expansion through his support of partner marketing initiatives, including road shows and open houses across the country, as well as launching the Sodick & Friends Webinar series during COVID-19. His responsibilities have also entailed helping organize trade shows, including NPE2024 in May where the company worked with more than 20 vendor partners.
