AUTON Motorized Systems Names New Vice-President of Business Development; Randy Austin Set to Bring New Ideas and Programs to Legendary TV Lift Manufacturer.

VALENCIA, Calif. -- AUTON Motorized Systems, the world's leading manufacturer of motorized TV lifts, is poised to continue its dominance in the industry by naming Randy Austin its new Vice-President of Business Development. Austin, who graduated from UCLA in 1991 with a degree in Economics, will manage AUTON'S Sales Division and will be responsible for new business development programs and cutting-edge marketing and productivity strategies.

Following a four-year NFL career as an offensive tight end with the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, and New England Patriots, Austin used his educational background and passion for technology to move into the manufacturing field where, as a Sales Engineer, he designed and implemented new automation and productivity systems. His designs established new revenue and ROI benchmarks for Mitsubishi, Boeing, Toyota America, HP and IKEA.

Austin is excited about the opportunity to bring his sales and productivity experience to AUTON Motorized Systems. "I really like the fact that AUTON has been in business for over fifty years and is the world-leader in its industry. Finding a company with the kind of pedigree that AUTON has, right here in my hometown, and one whose business model directly aligns with my experience, made my decision to join AUTON'S team an easy one. The company's entire operation is impressive and I look forward to helping AUTON move ever farther ahead of its competition."

Virgil Walker, President of AUTON Motorized Systems, has always been a progressive thinker and knows that the addition of Austin will keep the company moving forward. "Randy has everything that I need in a Vice-President of Business Development. Not only is his background in the industry very strong, he impresses me as a person and he'll bring in new ideas and techniques that will boost our sales and productivity. I feel fortunate to have Randy Austin as part of our team."
