Paragon Technologies, Inc. ( www.ptgamex.com), parent company to SI Systems and Ermanco, has restructured and put into motion its market alignment strategy, which better aligns corporate operations with customer and market demands.

"Paragon will now go to market as one company with the Ermanco and SI Systems brands under one common leadership," says Bill Johnson, CEO of Paragon.

This new structure will allow more focused investment in the area of technological innovation and will consolidate both organizations' frontline customer sales and marketing personnel.

Leon Kirschner has been named COO for Paragon and will lead this new effort. Gordon Hellberg will become vice president of sales for Paragon, and Lee Schomberg will become vice president of marketing for Paragon.

"These changes allow us to have one strong company, one strong sales and marketing team, and two strong brands," says Johnson.
