Due to a substantial surge in demand across Asia, the Confidee Sales Team has undergone expansion, now including a dedicated Sales Manager for the Asia region, Tony Mok.
"We are excited to welcome Tony on board. His extensive and longstanding expertise in PCB manufacturing aligns seamlessly with our commitment to becoming a preferred PCB partner, fostering both experience and robust relationships with our trusted suppliers", says CEO Vidar Olsen.
Confidee, who lately has experienced a substantial surge in demand across Asia, has strategically increased its team by appointing a Sales Manager with local presence. His experience and proactive engagement make him ideal at identifying growth opportunities and crafting tailored strategies to capture new markets.
“With Tony onboard, we are exceptionally well-positioned to support our partners. In an era where industry experience is increasingly scarce, it's noteworthy that all our sales Managers bring valuable insights, stemming from their backgrounds of managing PCB factories or working within manufacturing. In this regard, Tony seamlessly aligns with our team's expertise”, says Olsen.
Mok assumed the role of Sales Manager on February 1st, seamlessly integrating into the organization with remarkable efficiency. He will be an asset to current partners overseas and play a pivotal role in expanding the customer base in the Asian market.
“I strongly believe Confidee will be a great place to work, as I have known these people for a long time, and just love the culture, attitude and work atmosphere they commit to and generate. For me it's important to work in an environment where trust and respect, in relation to how we do business and treat people, is a priority,” says Mok.

The Marketing Minute: Your Marketing Funnel Has a Memory Problem
03/11/2026 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteMany marketing teams work incredibly hard to generate attention. They launch campaigns. Announcements go out. New content is published, and digital promotions are pushed across multiple channels. For a short period, engagement spikes, website traffic rises, and the leads come rolling in. For sales, it all feels so promising. But then traffic returns to normal levels, engagement softens, and the sales team finds itself restarting conversations that never fully developed. When this happens, companies often assume they have a lead problem.
