MOORPARK, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 11, 2015) - TestEquity, a value-added distributor of test and measurement equipment and services since 1971, today announced the appointment of Kurt Anderson as eastern region sales manager. In his new role, Mr. Anderson will lead expansion efforts in the Eastern United States for TestEquity's new line of tools and supplies for labs and electronics manufacturing, which the company acquired in its recent purchase of EWD Solutions. He will be responsible for assembling and training an outside sales team to establish a presence for the line in the region while also providing exceptional service and support for customers. In addition, to bolster support for its customers in Southern California, TestEquity has appointed John Deutsch as an account manager.

From territory manager to national market manager, he has held key sales positions for leading regional and national distributors, including Marshall Industries, Com-Kyl, EIS, Hisco, Kimco, and Stanley Supply & Services.

As account manager, Mr. Deutsch will perform outside sales functions for TestEquity in Southern California.

"With their extensive consultative sales experience, Kurt and John are both valuable additions to our sales team," said Scott Maclin, vice president of sales for TestEquity's production tools and supplies business.
