"I am honored to join Vexos during this exciting time," said Jona. "Vexos is committed to provide integrated solutions for our customers and to provide the highest standards in quality and reliability. Joining this market leader with a global footprint is a great opportunity. I look forward to working alongside Vexos' talented employees to achieve the highest levels of customer satisfaction and continue the company's next stage of growth."
