February 17, 2010 (Mentor, OH) – The Rogers Company (www.therogersco.com) has expanded its presence in the Northeast by opening a sales office in Rochester, New York. Brenda Newman will be heading the East Avenue office. Newman brings over 17 years of experience to her new role having worked with a range of national and global clients from Fortune 500 companies to small startups and everything in between.
“We are very excited about this expansion,” said Jeffrey Blackwell, president of The Rogers Company. “Newman brings the expertise and dedication to customer service that we need to capitalize on opportunities as the economy begins to recover.”
Newman is enjoying the culture of The Rogers Company, which emphasizes building partnerships with its clients, employees and suppliers while fostering its goal of helping clients achieve the highest return on investment possible from trade shows. This philosophy is highlighted by the company’s recent launch of Return on Exhibiting, an approach that guarantees 100% lead follow-up post show.
“We ultimately want our clients to succeed in the short and long term,” said Newman. “Rogers’ partnership approach fits perfectly with my mantra of putting client service first.”
Newman is looking forward to working with clients in a wide range of markets, but sees opportunity in green technology such as wind and solar power.
“I have experience working with manufacturers and suppliers to the wind energy sector and I see growth opportunity in industries that supply green technologies,” said Newman. “I can also work with any company on making their exhibit displays more green. The design and build teams at Rogers are a terrific resource for finding green materials that fit budget and design requirements.”
