Magritek appoints key professionals to support services

Magritek, leading providers of compact NMR and MRI systems, has expanded its sales and and marketing team with two experienced industry professionals. Silverio (Sal) Iacono, who is to head up the company’s sales operations worldwide, has spent his career leading sales and marketing teams for analytical tools. Formerly Vice President and General Manager of PerkinElmer’s mass spectrometry business and with nearly 25 years working in the scientific community, he arrives at Magritek enthusiastic to help further build the company into a world-leading business.

Joining him is another spectroscopy veteran. John Paul Cerroti has worked in analytical instrumentation for nearly thirty years. With a background in materials science, Cerroti has held senior sales and marketing roles for many of the leading innovators in spectroscopy tools including PerkinElmer, Renishaw and Oxford Instruments. Cerroti is based at the Magritek European headquarters in Aachen, Germany.

In welcoming these new members to his team, Magritek CEO, Andrew Coy, is excited by the experience and open-minded, fresh ideas joining the company. “As we have built the organisation over the last ten years, we have experienced steady growth. However, since we launched the Spinsolve family of NMR spectrometers, we have seen a large increase in the interest for instruments that fit into educational programs where the system delivers rapid, repeatable results with minimal operator interaction. Now we have operations on three continents and further expansion in the pipeline, we are confident that Sal and John Paul will make vital contributions to Magritek.

Magritek's latest Spinsolve system allows ¹³C NMR Spectroscopy and delivers more detail in its spectra than use of the more basic ¹H nucleus.
